How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 42,814,884?

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 42,814,884, 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 42,814,884

Next, we take the number 42,814,884 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 42,814,884 ÷ 2 = 21,407,442

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,407,442 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 21,407,442 42,814,884

Now, we try dividing 42,814,884 by 3.

42,814,884 ÷ 3 = 14,271,628

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,271,628 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 14,271,628 21,407,442 42,814,884

Let's try dividing by 4.

42,814,884 ÷ 4 = 10,703,721

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,703,721 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 10,703,721 14,271,628 21,407,442 42,814,884

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 42,814,884 ÷ 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:
