How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 171,141,720?

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 171,141,720, 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.

1 171,141,720

Next, we take the number 171,141,720 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 171,141,720 ÷ 2 = 85,570,860

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 85,570,860 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 85,570,860 171,141,720

Now, we try dividing 171,141,720 by 3.

171,141,720 ÷ 3 = 57,047,240

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 57,047,240 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 57,047,240 85,570,860 171,141,720

Let's try dividing by 4.

171,141,720 ÷ 4 = 42,785,430

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 42,785,430 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 42,785,430 57,047,240 85,570,860 171,141,720

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 171,141,720 ÷ 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:
