How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 478,324,804?

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 478,324,804, 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.

1 478,324,804

Next, we take the number 478,324,804 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 478,324,804 ÷ 2 = 239,162,402

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 239,162,402 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 239,162,402 478,324,804

Now, we try dividing 478,324,804 by 3.

478,324,804 ÷ 3 = 159,441,601.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 159,441,601.3333 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 2 239,162,402 478,324,804

Let's try dividing by 4.

478,324,804 ÷ 4 = 119,581,201

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 119,581,201 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 4 119,581,201 239,162,402 478,324,804

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 478,324,804 ÷ 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:

124891631783263566528,24314,50716,48629,01432,97258,028733,6271,343,6091,467,2542,687,2182,934,5085,374,436119,581,201239,162,402478,324,804

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 478,324,804.
