How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 47,218,852?

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 47,218,852, 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 47,218,852

Next, we take the number 47,218,852 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 47,218,852 ÷ 2 = 23,609,426

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,609,426 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 23,609,426 47,218,852

Now, we try dividing 47,218,852 by 3.

47,218,852 ÷ 3 = 15,739,617.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,739,617.3333 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 23,609,426 47,218,852

Let's try dividing by 4.

47,218,852 ÷ 4 = 11,804,713

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,804,713 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 11,804,713 23,609,426 47,218,852

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 47,218,852 ÷ 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:
