Problem

The largest divisor of $2,014,000,000$ is itself. What is its fifth-largest divisor?

$\textbf {(A) } 125, 875, 000 \qquad \textbf {(B) } 201, 400, 000 \qquad \textbf {(C) } 251, 750, 000 \qquad \textbf {(D) } 402, 800, 000 \qquad \textbf {(E) } 503, 500, 000$

Solution

Note that $2,014,000,000$ is divisible by $1,\ 2,\ 4,\ 5,\ 8$ . Then, the fifth largest factor would come from divisibility by $8$ , or $251,750,000$ , or $\boxed{\textbf{(C)}}$ .
