Do you mean, what is it evenly divisible by?

You can answer questions like these by finding the factors of the number and multiplying different factors:

215 ends in 5, so we know 5 is one if its factors. Divide by 5: we're left with 43. 43 is a Prime number, it can't be factored any more. 215 is only divisible by 5 and 43.

As a better example of how this technique works, consider 100. 100's factors are 5, 5, 2, and 2. By multiplying together different factors, we can discover that 100 is not only divisible directly by its factors 5 and 2, but also by 5*5, 2*2, 5*2, 5*5*2 and 2*2*5.
