How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 36,120,840?

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 36,120,840, 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 36,120,840

Next, we take the number 36,120,840 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 36,120,840 ÷ 2 = 18,060,420

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,060,420 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 18,060,420 36,120,840

Now, we try dividing 36,120,840 by 3.

36,120,840 ÷ 3 = 12,040,280

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,040,280 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 12,040,280 18,060,420 36,120,840

Let's try dividing by 4.

36,120,840 ÷ 4 = 9,030,210

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,030,210 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 9,030,210 12,040,280 18,060,420 36,120,840

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 36,120,840 ÷ 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:
