Divisors of 12

Here we will define what "the divisors of 12" means and show you how to find the divisors of 12.

First, note that in a division problem like x divided by y equals z, x is the dividend, y is the divisor, and z is the quotient as illustrated here:

Dividend / Divisor = Quotient

Divisors of 12 are all the unique whole number divisors that make the quotient a whole number if you make the dividend 12:

12 / Divisor = Quotient

To find all the divisors of 12, we first divide 12 by every whole number up to 12 like so:

12 / 1 = 12
12 / 2 = 6
12 / 3 = 4
12 / 4 = 3
etc...

Then, we take the divisors from the list above if the quotient was a whole number. This new list is the Divisors of 12.

The Divisors of 12 are as follows:

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.
