How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 481,231,876?

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 481,231,876, 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.

1 481,231,876

Next, we take the number 481,231,876 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 481,231,876 ÷ 2 = 240,615,938

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 240,615,938 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 240,615,938 481,231,876

Now, we try dividing 481,231,876 by 3.

481,231,876 ÷ 3 = 160,410,625.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 160,410,625.3333 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 2 240,615,938 481,231,876

Let's try dividing by 4.

481,231,876 ÷ 4 = 120,307,969

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 120,307,969 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 4 120,307,969 240,615,938 481,231,876

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 481,231,876 ÷ 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:
