How do I find the factor combinations of the number 100,998,336?

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 divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 100,998,336, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

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. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.

1 100,998,336
-1 -100,998,336

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 100,998,336.

Example:
1 x 100,998,336 = 100,998,336
and
-1 x -100,998,336 = 100,998,336
Notice both answers equal 100,998,336

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 100,998,336 and divide it by 2:

100,998,336 ÷ 2 = 50,499,168

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 50,499,168 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 50,499,168 100,998,336
-1 -2 -50,499,168 -100,998,336

Now, we try dividing 100,998,336 by 3:

100,998,336 ÷ 3 = 33,666,112

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 33,666,112 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 3 33,666,112 50,499,168 100,998,336
-1 -2 -3 -33,666,112 -50,499,168 -100,998,336

Let's try dividing by 4:

100,998,336 ÷ 4 = 25,249,584

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,249,584 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 3 4 25,249,584 33,666,112 50,499,168 100,998,336
-1 -2 -3 -4 -25,249,584 -33,666,112 -50,499,168 100,998,336
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
