 A: 12255165671510331342

How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 510,331,342?

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 510,331,342, 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.

1 510,331,342

Next, we take the number 510,331,342 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 510,331,342 ÷ 2 = 255,165,671

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 255,165,671 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 255,165,671 510,331,342

Now, we try dividing 510,331,342 by 3.

510,331,342 ÷ 3 = 170,110,447.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 170,110,447.3333 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 2 255,165,671 510,331,342

Let's try dividing by 4.

510,331,342 ÷ 4 = 127,582,835.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 127,582,835.5 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 2 255,165,671 510,331,342

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 510,331,342 ÷ 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:

12255,165,671510,331,342

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 510,331,342.

Finally, for your reference, here are all of the divisor combinations of the number 510,331,342:
