How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 420,505,772?

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 420,505,772, 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.

1 420,505,772

Next, we take the number 420,505,772 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 420,505,772 ÷ 2 = 210,252,886

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 210,252,886 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 210,252,886 420,505,772

Now, we try dividing 420,505,772 by 3.

420,505,772 ÷ 3 = 140,168,590.6667

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 140,168,590.6667 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 2 210,252,886 420,505,772

Let's try dividing by 4.

420,505,772 ÷ 4 = 105,126,443

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 105,126,443 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 4 105,126,443 210,252,886 420,505,772

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 420,505,772 ÷ 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:
