Divisors of 261

Here we will define what "the divisors of 261" means and show you how to find the divisors of 261.

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 261 are all the unique whole number divisors that make the quotient a whole number if you make the dividend 261:

261 / Divisor = Quotient

To find all the divisors of 261, we first divide 261 by every whole number up to 261 like so:

261 / 1 = 261
261 / 2 = 130.5
261 / 3 = 87
261 / 4 = 65.25
etc...

Then, we take the divisors from the list above if the quotient was a whole number. This new list is the Divisors of 261.

The Divisors of 261 are as follows:

1, 3, 9, 29, 87, and 261.
