How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 46,923,836?

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 46,923,836, 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 46,923,836

Next, we take the number 46,923,836 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 46,923,836 ÷ 2 = 23,461,918

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,461,918 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 23,461,918 46,923,836

Now, we try dividing 46,923,836 by 3.

46,923,836 ÷ 3 = 15,641,278.6667

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,641,278.6667 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 23,461,918 46,923,836

Let's try dividing by 4.

46,923,836 ÷ 4 = 11,730,959

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,730,959 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 11,730,959 23,461,918 46,923,836

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 46,923,836 ÷ 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:

1244386172272,813545,6261,091,25211,730,95923,461,91846,923,836

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 46,923,836.
