How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 171,512,012?

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 171,512,012, 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.

1 171,512,012

Next, we take the number 171,512,012 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 171,512,012 ÷ 2 = 85,756,006

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 85,756,006 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 85,756,006 171,512,012

Now, we try dividing 171,512,012 by 3.

171,512,012 ÷ 3 = 57,170,670.6667

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 57,170,670.6667 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 85,756,006 171,512,012

Let's try dividing by 4.

171,512,012 ÷ 4 = 42,878,003

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 42,878,003 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 4 42,878,003 85,756,006 171,512,012

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 171,512,012 ÷ 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:
