How do I find the factor combinations of the number 124,422,408?

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 124,422,408, 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.

1 124,422,408
-1 -124,422,408

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 124,422,408.

Example:
1 x 124,422,408 = 124,422,408
and
-1 x -124,422,408 = 124,422,408
Notice both answers equal 124,422,408

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 124,422,408 and divide it by 2:

124,422,408 ÷ 2 = 62,211,204

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 62,211,204 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 62,211,204 124,422,408
-1 -2 -62,211,204 -124,422,408

Now, we try dividing 124,422,408 by 3:

124,422,408 ÷ 3 = 41,474,136

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 41,474,136 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 41,474,136 62,211,204 124,422,408
-1 -2 -3 -41,474,136 -62,211,204 -124,422,408

Let's try dividing by 4:

124,422,408 ÷ 4 = 31,105,602

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 31,105,602 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 31,105,602 41,474,136 62,211,204 124,422,408
-1 -2 -3 -4 -31,105,602 -41,474,136 -62,211,204 124,422,408
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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