How do I find the factor combinations of the number 140,223,096?

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 140,223,096, 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.

1 140,223,096
-1 -140,223,096

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 140,223,096.

Example:
1 x 140,223,096 = 140,223,096
and
-1 x -140,223,096 = 140,223,096
Notice both answers equal 140,223,096

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 140,223,096 and divide it by 2:

140,223,096 ÷ 2 = 70,111,548

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 70,111,548 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 70,111,548 140,223,096
-1 -2 -70,111,548 -140,223,096

Now, we try dividing 140,223,096 by 3:

140,223,096 ÷ 3 = 46,741,032

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 46,741,032 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 46,741,032 70,111,548 140,223,096
-1 -2 -3 -46,741,032 -70,111,548 -140,223,096

Let's try dividing by 4:

140,223,096 ÷ 4 = 35,055,774

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 35,055,774 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 35,055,774 46,741,032 70,111,548 140,223,096
-1 -2 -3 -4 -35,055,774 -46,741,032 -70,111,548 140,223,096
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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