How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 321,143,404?

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 321,143,404, 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.

1 321,143,404

Next, we take the number 321,143,404 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 321,143,404 ÷ 2 = 160,571,702

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 160,571,702 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 160,571,702 321,143,404

Now, we try dividing 321,143,404 by 3.

321,143,404 ÷ 3 = 107,047,801.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 107,047,801.3333 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 2 160,571,702 321,143,404

Let's try dividing by 4.

321,143,404 ÷ 4 = 80,285,851

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 80,285,851 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 80,285,851 160,571,702 321,143,404

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 321,143,404 ÷ 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:

1242,5315,06210,12431,72163,442126,88480,285,851160,571,702321,143,404

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 321,143,404.
