How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 273,172,764?

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 273,172,764, 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.

1 273,172,764

Next, we take the number 273,172,764 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 273,172,764 ÷ 2 = 136,586,382

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 136,586,382 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 136,586,382 273,172,764

Now, we try dividing 273,172,764 by 3.

273,172,764 ÷ 3 = 91,057,588

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 91,057,588 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 91,057,588 136,586,382 273,172,764

Let's try dividing by 4.

273,172,764 ÷ 4 = 68,293,191

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 68,293,191 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 68,293,191 91,057,588 136,586,382 273,172,764

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 273,172,764 ÷ 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:

123461222,764,39745,528,79468,293,19191,057,588136,586,382273,172,764

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 273,172,764.
