Divisors of 42

Here we will define what "the divisors of 42" means and show you how to find the divisors of 42.

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 42 are all the unique whole number divisors that make the quotient a whole number if you make the dividend 42:

42 / Divisor = Quotient

To find all the divisors of 42, we first divide 42 by every whole number up to 42 like so:

42 / 1 = 42
42 / 2 = 21
42 / 3 = 14
42 / 4 = 10.5
etc...

Then, we take the divisors from the list above if the quotient was a whole number. This new list is the Divisors of 42.

The Divisors of 42 are as follows:

1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, and 42.
