How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 41,729,172?

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 41,729,172, 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 41,729,172

Next, we take the number 41,729,172 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 41,729,172 ÷ 2 = 20,864,586

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,864,586 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 20,864,586 41,729,172

Now, we try dividing 41,729,172 by 3.

41,729,172 ÷ 3 = 13,909,724

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,909,724 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 13,909,724 20,864,586 41,729,172

Let's try dividing by 4.

41,729,172 ÷ 4 = 10,432,293

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,432,293 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 10,432,293 13,909,724 20,864,586 41,729,172

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 41,729,172 ÷ 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:

12346123,477,4316,954,86210,432,29313,909,72420,864,58641,729,172

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 41,729,172.
