How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 29,737,972?

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 29,737,972, 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 29,737,972

Next, we take the number 29,737,972 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 29,737,972 ÷ 2 = 14,868,986

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 14,868,986 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 14,868,986 29,737,972

Now, we try dividing 29,737,972 by 3.

29,737,972 ÷ 3 = 9,912,657.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,912,657.3333 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 14,868,986 29,737,972

Let's try dividing by 4.

29,737,972 ÷ 4 = 7,434,493

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,434,493 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 7,434,493 14,868,986 29,737,972

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 29,737,972 ÷ 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:

124112244675,8631,351,7262,703,4527,434,49314,868,98629,737,972

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 29,737,972.
