Divisors of 256

Here we will define what "the divisors of 256" means and show you how to find the divisors of 256.

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 256 are all the unique whole number divisors that make the quotient a whole number if you make the dividend 256:

256 / Divisor = Quotient

To find all the divisors of 256, we first divide 256 by every whole number up to 256 like so:

256 / 1 = 256
256 / 2 = 128
256 / 3 = 85.33
256 / 4 = 64
etc...

Then, we take the divisors from the list above if the quotient was a whole number. This new list is the Divisors of 256.

The Divisors of 256 are as follows:

1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256.
