How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 168,000,672?

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 168,000,672, 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.

1 168,000,672

Next, we take the number 168,000,672 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 168,000,672 ÷ 2 = 84,000,336

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 84,000,336 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 84,000,336 168,000,672

Now, we try dividing 168,000,672 by 3.

168,000,672 ÷ 3 = 56,000,224

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 56,000,224 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 56,000,224 84,000,336 168,000,672

Let's try dividing by 4.

168,000,672 ÷ 4 = 42,000,168

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 42,000,168 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 42,000,168 56,000,224 84,000,336 168,000,672

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 168,000,672 ÷ 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:
