How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 47,346,048?

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 47,346,048, 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 47,346,048

Next, we take the number 47,346,048 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 47,346,048 ÷ 2 = 23,673,024

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,673,024 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 23,673,024 47,346,048

Now, we try dividing 47,346,048 by 3.

47,346,048 ÷ 3 = 15,782,016

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,782,016 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 15,782,016 23,673,024 47,346,048

Let's try dividing by 4.

47,346,048 ÷ 4 = 11,836,512

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,836,512 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 11,836,512 15,782,016 23,673,024 47,346,048

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 47,346,048 ÷ 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:
