How do I find the factor combinations of the number 123,224,340?

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 123,224,340, 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.

1 123,224,340
-1 -123,224,340

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 123,224,340.

Example:
1 x 123,224,340 = 123,224,340
and
-1 x -123,224,340 = 123,224,340
Notice both answers equal 123,224,340

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 123,224,340 and divide it by 2:

123,224,340 ÷ 2 = 61,612,170

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 61,612,170 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 61,612,170 123,224,340
-1 -2 -61,612,170 -123,224,340

Now, we try dividing 123,224,340 by 3:

123,224,340 ÷ 3 = 41,074,780

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 41,074,780 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 41,074,780 61,612,170 123,224,340
-1 -2 -3 -41,074,780 -61,612,170 -123,224,340

Let's try dividing by 4:

123,224,340 ÷ 4 = 30,806,085

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 30,806,085 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 30,806,085 41,074,780 61,612,170 123,224,340
-1 -2 -3 -4 -30,806,085 -41,074,780 -61,612,170 123,224,340
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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