How do I find the factor combinations of the number 121,214,352?

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 121,214,352, 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.

1 121,214,352
-1 -121,214,352

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 121,214,352.

Example:
1 x 121,214,352 = 121,214,352
and
-1 x -121,214,352 = 121,214,352
Notice both answers equal 121,214,352

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 121,214,352 and divide it by 2:

121,214,352 ÷ 2 = 60,607,176

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 60,607,176 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 60,607,176 121,214,352
-1 -2 -60,607,176 -121,214,352

Now, we try dividing 121,214,352 by 3:

121,214,352 ÷ 3 = 40,404,784

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 40,404,784 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 40,404,784 60,607,176 121,214,352
-1 -2 -3 -40,404,784 -60,607,176 -121,214,352

Let's try dividing by 4:

121,214,352 ÷ 4 = 30,303,588

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 30,303,588 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 30,303,588 40,404,784 60,607,176 121,214,352
-1 -2 -3 -4 -30,303,588 -40,404,784 -60,607,176 121,214,352
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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