How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 428,673?

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 428,673, 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.

1 428,673

Next, we take the number 428,673 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 428,673 ÷ 2 = 214,336.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 214,336.5 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 428,673

Now, we try dividing 428,673 by 3.

428,673 ÷ 3 = 142,891

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 142,891 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 3 142,891 428,673

Let's try dividing by 4.

428,673 ÷ 4 = 107,168.25

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 107,168.25 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 3 142,891 428,673

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 428,673 ÷ 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:

137211371494114479591,0432,8773,12920,41361,239142,891428,673

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 428,673.

Finally, for your reference, here are all of the divisor combinations of the number 428,673:

1 x 4286733 x 1428917 x 6123921 x 20413137 x 3129149 x 2877411 x 1043447 x 959
