How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 147,015,228?

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 147,015,228, 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.

1 147,015,228

Next, we take the number 147,015,228 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 147,015,228 ÷ 2 = 73,507,614

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 73,507,614 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 73,507,614 147,015,228

Now, we try dividing 147,015,228 by 3.

147,015,228 ÷ 3 = 49,005,076

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 49,005,076 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 49,005,076 73,507,614 147,015,228

Let's try dividing by 4.

147,015,228 ÷ 4 = 36,753,807

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 36,753,807 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 36,753,807 49,005,076 73,507,614 147,015,228

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 147,015,228 ÷ 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:
