Divisors of 56

Here we will define what "the divisors of 56" means and show you how to find the divisors of 56.

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 56 are all the unique whole number divisors that make the quotient a whole number if you make the dividend 56:

56 / Divisor = Quotient

To find all the divisors of 56, we first divide 56 by every whole number up to 56 like so:

56 / 1 = 56
56 / 2 = 28
56 / 3 = 18.67
56 / 4 = 14
etc...

Then, we take the divisors from the list above if the quotient was a whole number. This new list is the Divisors of 56.

The Divisors of 56 are as follows:

1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, and 56.
