Divisors of 72

Here we will define what "the divisors of 72" means and show you how to find the divisors of 72.

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 72 are all the unique whole number divisors that make the quotient a whole number if you make the dividend 72:

72 / Divisor = Quotient

To find all the divisors of 72, we first divide 72 by every whole number up to 72 like so:

72 / 1 = 72
72 / 2 = 36
72 / 3 = 24
72 / 4 = 18
etc...

Then, we take the divisors from the list above if the quotient was a whole number. This new list is the Divisors of 72.

The Divisors of 72 are as follows:

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 72.
