How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 402,141,144?

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 402,141,144, 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.

1 402,141,144

Next, we take the number 402,141,144 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 402,141,144 ÷ 2 = 201,070,572

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 201,070,572 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 201,070,572 402,141,144

Now, we try dividing 402,141,144 by 3.

402,141,144 ÷ 3 = 134,047,048

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 134,047,048 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 3 134,047,048 201,070,572 402,141,144

Let's try dividing by 4.

402,141,144 ÷ 4 = 100,535,286

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 100,535,286 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 4 100,535,286 134,047,048 201,070,572 402,141,144

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 402,141,144 ÷ 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:
