How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 214,321,236?

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 214,321,236, 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.

1 214,321,236

Next, we take the number 214,321,236 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 214,321,236 ÷ 2 = 107,160,618

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 107,160,618 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 107,160,618 214,321,236

Now, we try dividing 214,321,236 by 3.

214,321,236 ÷ 3 = 71,440,412

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 71,440,412 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 71,440,412 107,160,618 214,321,236

Let's try dividing by 4.

214,321,236 ÷ 4 = 53,580,309

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 53,580,309 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 53,580,309 71,440,412 107,160,618 214,321,236

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 214,321,236 ÷ 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:

123461217,860,10335,720,20653,580,30971,440,412107,160,618214,321,236

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 214,321,236.
