How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 424,222,156?

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 424,222,156, 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.

1 424,222,156

Next, we take the number 424,222,156 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 424,222,156 ÷ 2 = 212,111,078

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 212,111,078 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 212,111,078 424,222,156

Now, we try dividing 424,222,156 by 3.

424,222,156 ÷ 3 = 141,407,385.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 141,407,385.3333 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 2 212,111,078 424,222,156

Let's try dividing by 4.

424,222,156 ÷ 4 = 106,055,539

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 106,055,539 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 4 106,055,539 212,111,078 424,222,156

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 424,222,156 ÷ 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:
