How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 56,709,636?

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 56,709,636, 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 56,709,636

Next, we take the number 56,709,636 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 56,709,636 ÷ 2 = 28,354,818

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,354,818 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 28,354,818 56,709,636

Now, we try dividing 56,709,636 by 3.

56,709,636 ÷ 3 = 18,903,212

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,903,212 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 3 18,903,212 28,354,818 56,709,636

Let's try dividing by 4.

56,709,636 ÷ 4 = 14,177,409

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,177,409 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 3 4 14,177,409 18,903,212 28,354,818 56,709,636

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 56,709,636 ÷ 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:

12346124794141188282564100,549201,098301,647402,196603,2941,206,5884,725,8039,451,60614,177,40918,903,21228,354,81856,709,636

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 56,709,636.
