What makes 672 interesting

  • 672 is a composite number, meaning it has more than two factors. It can be written as a product of smaller whole numbers in 12 different ways.
  • 672 is an abundant number: its proper factors sum to 1344, which is 672 more than 672 itself.
  • 672 has 3 distinct prime factors (2, 3, 7), which is why it has so many divisors.

How to find the factors of 672 yourself

Divide 672 by each whole number starting from 1. Whenever the division leaves no remainder, both the divisor and the quotient are factors. You only need to test up to √67225.92, because every factor above that pairs with one below it.

672 ÷ 1 = 672
672 ÷ 2 = 336
672 ÷ 3 = 224
672 ÷ 4 = 168
672 ÷ 6 = 112
672 ÷ 7 = 96
672 ÷ 8 = 84
672 ÷ 12 = 56
672 ÷ 14 = 48
672 ÷ 16 = 42
672 ÷ 21 = 32
672 ÷ 24 = 28

Reading both columns gives every factor: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 16, 21, 24, 28, 32, 42, 48, 56, 84, 96, 112, 168, 224, 336, 672. The factor calculator does this automatically for any number.
