How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 118,116?

Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the factors of larger numbers. To find the factors of the number 118,116, it is easiest to start from the outside in. Here's what we mean:

Outside in Factoring

We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table.

1 118,116

Next, we take the number 118,116 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 118,116 ÷ 2 = 59,058

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 59,058 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 59,058 118,116

Now, we try dividing 118,116 by 3.

118,116 ÷ 3 = 39,372

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 39,372 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 3 39,372 59,058 118,116

Let's try dividing by 4.

118,116 ÷ 4 = 29,529

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 29,529 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 3 4 29,529 39,372 59,058 118,116

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 118,116 ÷ 5 is a whole number, then 5 and your quotient are factors of the number.


Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.


What you will end up with is this table:

123469121718343651681021531932043063865796127721,1581,7372,3163,2813,4746,5626,9489,84313,12419,68629,52939,37259,058118,116

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 118,116.

Finally, for your reference, here are all of the divisor combinations of the number 118,116:
