How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 420,100,218?

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 420,100,218, 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.

1 420,100,218

Next, we take the number 420,100,218 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 420,100,218 ÷ 2 = 210,050,109

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 210,050,109 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 210,050,109 420,100,218

Now, we try dividing 420,100,218 by 3.

420,100,218 ÷ 3 = 140,033,406

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 140,033,406 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 3 140,033,406 210,050,109 420,100,218

Let's try dividing by 4.

420,100,218 ÷ 4 = 105,025,054.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 105,025,054.5 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 3 140,033,406 210,050,109 420,100,218

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 420,100,218 ÷ 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:
