How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 562,040,860?

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 562,040,860, 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.

1 562,040,860

Next, we take the number 562,040,860 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 562,040,860 ÷ 2 = 281,020,430

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 281,020,430 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 281,020,430 562,040,860

Now, we try dividing 562,040,860 by 3.

562,040,860 ÷ 3 = 187,346,953.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 187,346,953.3333 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 2 281,020,430 562,040,860

Let's try dividing by 4.

562,040,860 ÷ 4 = 140,510,215

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 140,510,215 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 4 140,510,215 281,020,430 562,040,860

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 562,040,860 ÷ 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:

1245102028,102,04356,204,086112,408,172140,510,215281,020,430562,040,860

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 562,040,860.
