How do I find the factor combinations of the number 102,005,352?

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 102,005,352, 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.

1 102,005,352
-1 -102,005,352

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 102,005,352.

Example:
1 x 102,005,352 = 102,005,352
and
-1 x -102,005,352 = 102,005,352
Notice both answers equal 102,005,352

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 102,005,352 and divide it by 2:

102,005,352 ÷ 2 = 51,002,676

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 51,002,676 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 51,002,676 102,005,352
-1 -2 -51,002,676 -102,005,352

Now, we try dividing 102,005,352 by 3:

102,005,352 ÷ 3 = 34,001,784

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,001,784 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 34,001,784 51,002,676 102,005,352
-1 -2 -3 -34,001,784 -51,002,676 -102,005,352

Let's try dividing by 4:

102,005,352 ÷ 4 = 25,501,338

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,501,338 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 25,501,338 34,001,784 51,002,676 102,005,352
-1 -2 -3 -4 -25,501,338 -34,001,784 -51,002,676 102,005,352
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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