How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 487,643,804?

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 487,643,804, 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.

1 487,643,804

Next, we take the number 487,643,804 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 487,643,804 ÷ 2 = 243,821,902

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 243,821,902 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 243,821,902 487,643,804

Now, we try dividing 487,643,804 by 3.

487,643,804 ÷ 3 = 162,547,934.6667

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 162,547,934.6667 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 2 243,821,902 487,643,804

Let's try dividing by 4.

487,643,804 ÷ 4 = 121,910,951

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 121,910,951 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 4 121,910,951 243,821,902 487,643,804

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 487,643,804 ÷ 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:
