How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 31,724,532?

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 31,724,532, 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 31,724,532

Next, we take the number 31,724,532 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 31,724,532 ÷ 2 = 15,862,266

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 15,862,266 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 15,862,266 31,724,532

Now, we try dividing 31,724,532 by 3.

31,724,532 ÷ 3 = 10,574,844

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,574,844 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 10,574,844 15,862,266 31,724,532

Let's try dividing by 4.

31,724,532 ÷ 4 = 7,931,133

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,931,133 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 7,931,133 10,574,844 15,862,266 31,724,532

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 31,724,532 ÷ 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.
