How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 317,321,746?

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 317,321,746, 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.

1 317,321,746

Next, we take the number 317,321,746 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 317,321,746 ÷ 2 = 158,660,873

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 158,660,873 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 158,660,873 317,321,746

Now, we try dividing 317,321,746 by 3.

317,321,746 ÷ 3 = 105,773,915.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 105,773,915.3333 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 2 158,660,873 317,321,746

Let's try dividing by 4.

317,321,746 ÷ 4 = 79,330,436.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 79,330,436.5 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 2 158,660,873 317,321,746

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 317,321,746 ÷ 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:

1271449983,237,9776,475,95422,665,83945,331,678158,660,873317,321,746

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 317,321,746.
