How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 42,366?

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 42,366, 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 42,366

Next, we take the number 42,366 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 42,366 ÷ 2 = 21,183

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,183 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 21,183 42,366

Now, we try dividing 42,366 by 3.

42,366 ÷ 3 = 14,122

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,122 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 14,122 21,183 42,366

Let's try dividing by 4.

42,366 ÷ 4 = 10,591.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,591.5 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 14,122 21,183 42,366

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 42,366 ÷ 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:

12362346691383076149211,8427,06114,12221,18342,366

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 42,366.

Finally, for your reference, here are all of the divisor combinations of the number 42,366:

1 x 423662 x 211833 x 141226 x 706123 x 184246 x 92169 x 614138 x 307
