How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 268,323,508?

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 268,323,508, 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.

1 268,323,508

Next, we take the number 268,323,508 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 268,323,508 ÷ 2 = 134,161,754

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 134,161,754 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 134,161,754 268,323,508

Now, we try dividing 268,323,508 by 3.

268,323,508 ÷ 3 = 89,441,169.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 89,441,169.3333 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 2 134,161,754 268,323,508

Let's try dividing by 4.

268,323,508 ÷ 4 = 67,080,877

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 67,080,877 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 67,080,877 134,161,754 268,323,508

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 268,323,508 ÷ 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:

1244218421,684159,337318,674637,34867,080,877134,161,754268,323,508

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 268,323,508.
