How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 2,423,040?

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 2,423,040, 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 2,423,040

Next, we take the number 2,423,040 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 2,423,040 ÷ 2 = 1,211,520

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,211,520 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 1,211,520 2,423,040

Now, we try dividing 2,423,040 by 3.

2,423,040 ÷ 3 = 807,680

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 807,680 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 3 807,680 1,211,520 2,423,040

Let's try dividing by 4.

2,423,040 ÷ 4 = 605,760

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 605,760 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 4 605,760 807,680 1,211,520 2,423,040

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 2,423,040 ÷ 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:
