How do I find the factor combinations of the number 118,834,236?

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 118,834,236, 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.

1 118,834,236
-1 -118,834,236

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 118,834,236.

Example:
1 x 118,834,236 = 118,834,236
and
-1 x -118,834,236 = 118,834,236
Notice both answers equal 118,834,236

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 118,834,236 and divide it by 2:

118,834,236 ÷ 2 = 59,417,118

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 59,417,118 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 59,417,118 118,834,236
-1 -2 -59,417,118 -118,834,236

Now, we try dividing 118,834,236 by 3:

118,834,236 ÷ 3 = 39,611,412

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 39,611,412 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 39,611,412 59,417,118 118,834,236
-1 -2 -3 -39,611,412 -59,417,118 -118,834,236

Let's try dividing by 4:

118,834,236 ÷ 4 = 29,708,559

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 29,708,559 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 29,708,559 39,611,412 59,417,118 118,834,236
-1 -2 -3 -4 -29,708,559 -39,611,412 -59,417,118 118,834,236
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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