How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 212,320,236?

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 212,320,236, 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.

1 212,320,236

Next, we take the number 212,320,236 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 212,320,236 ÷ 2 = 106,160,118

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 106,160,118 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 106,160,118 212,320,236

Now, we try dividing 212,320,236 by 3.

212,320,236 ÷ 3 = 70,773,412

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 70,773,412 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 70,773,412 106,160,118 212,320,236

Let's try dividing by 4.

212,320,236 ÷ 4 = 53,080,059

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 53,080,059 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 53,080,059 70,773,412 106,160,118 212,320,236

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 212,320,236 ÷ 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:

123461217,693,35335,386,70653,080,05970,773,412106,160,118212,320,236

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 212,320,236.
