How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 317,558,812?

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 317,558,812, 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.

1 317,558,812

Next, we take the number 317,558,812 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 317,558,812 ÷ 2 = 158,779,406

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 158,779,406 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 158,779,406 317,558,812

Now, we try dividing 317,558,812 by 3.

317,558,812 ÷ 3 = 105,852,937.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 105,852,937.3333 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 2 158,779,406 317,558,812

Let's try dividing by 4.

317,558,812 ÷ 4 = 79,389,703

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 79,389,703 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 79,389,703 158,779,406 317,558,812

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 317,558,812 ÷ 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:
