How do I find the factor combinations of the number 114,350,472?

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 114,350,472, 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.

1 114,350,472
-1 -114,350,472

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 114,350,472.

Example:
1 x 114,350,472 = 114,350,472
and
-1 x -114,350,472 = 114,350,472
Notice both answers equal 114,350,472

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,350,472 and divide it by 2:

114,350,472 ÷ 2 = 57,175,236

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,175,236 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 57,175,236 114,350,472
-1 -2 -57,175,236 -114,350,472

Now, we try dividing 114,350,472 by 3:

114,350,472 ÷ 3 = 38,116,824

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,116,824 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 38,116,824 57,175,236 114,350,472
-1 -2 -3 -38,116,824 -57,175,236 -114,350,472

Let's try dividing by 4:

114,350,472 ÷ 4 = 28,587,618

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,587,618 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 28,587,618 38,116,824 57,175,236 114,350,472
-1 -2 -3 -4 -28,587,618 -38,116,824 -57,175,236 114,350,472
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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