How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 420,344,340?

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 420,344,340, 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.

1 420,344,340

Next, we take the number 420,344,340 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 420,344,340 ÷ 2 = 210,172,170

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 210,172,170 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 210,172,170 420,344,340

Now, we try dividing 420,344,340 by 3.

420,344,340 ÷ 3 = 140,114,780

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 140,114,780 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 3 140,114,780 210,172,170 420,344,340

Let's try dividing by 4.

420,344,340 ÷ 4 = 105,086,085

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 105,086,085 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 4 105,086,085 140,114,780 210,172,170 420,344,340

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 420,344,340 ÷ 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:
