How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 250,420,032?

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 250,420,032, 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.

1 250,420,032

Next, we take the number 250,420,032 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 250,420,032 ÷ 2 = 125,210,016

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 125,210,016 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 125,210,016 250,420,032

Now, we try dividing 250,420,032 by 3.

250,420,032 ÷ 3 = 83,473,344

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 83,473,344 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 83,473,344 125,210,016 250,420,032

Let's try dividing by 4.

250,420,032 ÷ 4 = 62,605,008

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 62,605,008 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 62,605,008 83,473,344 125,210,016 250,420,032

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 250,420,032 ÷ 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:
