Mysql detect duplicate value in many column

I wanna ask about duplicate value detection on mysql table with so many column in it. my table name is inventory that have person_name , 40 column for itemid , and 40 column for item serial number like this : person_name, itemid0, itemid1, itemid2......itemid39 AND for serial number itemserial0, itemserial1, itemserial2....itemserial39

so what i want to.. find example : i have serial number like '888239390707418232' Find 888239390707418238 in every column itemserial itemserial0, itemserial1 ... itemserial39

if this value found on itemserial23 so the query will make output

person_name | itemid23 | itemserial23       |
John        | 1234     | 888239390707418232 |
Bryan       | 1234     | 888239390707418232 |

The itemID are able to duplicate , but itemserial is not able

Table Structure (if you confused about my table):
person_name, it0, is0, it1, is1, it2, is2, it3, is3 ..... until it39, is39

I just try to reveal that result with this query :

SELECT person_name, 
it0, is0, it1, is1, it2, is2, it3, is3, 
it4, is4, 
it5, is5, 
it6, is6, 
it7, is7, 
it8, is8, 
it9, is9, 
it10, is10, 
it11, is11, 
it12, is12, 
it13, is13, 
it14, is14, 
it15, is15, 
it16, is16, 
it17, is17, 
it18, is18, 
it19, is19, 
it20, is20, 
it21, is21, 
it22, is22, 
it23, is23, 
it24, is24, 
it25, is25, 
it26, is26, 
it27, is27, 
it28, is28, 
it29, is29, 
it30, is30, 
it31, is31, 
it32, is32, 
it33, is33, 
it34, is34, 
it35, is35, 
it36, is36, 
it37, is37, 
it38, is38, 
it39, is39 
FROM gdb0101.inventory
WHERE is1 = '888239390707418232' OR is2 = '888239390707418232'

OR is37= '888239390707418232'
OR is38= '888239390707418232'
OR is39= '888239390707418232'

but the result is so confusing it = mean itemid is = mean itemserial

This query will be use by PHP application to show on table

Any suggestion or help will be appreciated :)

Try this

SELECT distinct inventory.*
  FROM inventory as tb1
  join inventory as tb2
 WHERE tb1.itemid23 = tb2.itemid23 
   and tb1.id < tb2.id

it might help you to fetch non duplicate records

for deleting duplicate records

DELETE inventory
  FROM inventory as tb1
  join inventory as tb2
 WHERE tb1.itemid23 = tb2.itemid23
   and tb1.id < tb2.id
