How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 432,234,308?

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 432,234,308, 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.

1 432,234,308

Next, we take the number 432,234,308 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 432,234,308 ÷ 2 = 216,117,154

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 216,117,154 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 216,117,154 432,234,308

Now, we try dividing 432,234,308 by 3.

432,234,308 ÷ 3 = 144,078,102.6667

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 144,078,102.6667 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 2 216,117,154 432,234,308

Let's try dividing by 4.

432,234,308 ÷ 4 = 108,058,577

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 108,058,577 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 4 108,058,577 216,117,154 432,234,308

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 432,234,308 ÷ 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:
