How do I find the factor combinations of the number 141,402,252?

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 141,402,252, 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.

1 141,402,252
-1 -141,402,252

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 141,402,252.

Example:
1 x 141,402,252 = 141,402,252
and
-1 x -141,402,252 = 141,402,252
Notice both answers equal 141,402,252

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 141,402,252 and divide it by 2:

141,402,252 ÷ 2 = 70,701,126

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 70,701,126 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 70,701,126 141,402,252
-1 -2 -70,701,126 -141,402,252

Now, we try dividing 141,402,252 by 3:

141,402,252 ÷ 3 = 47,134,084

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 47,134,084 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 47,134,084 70,701,126 141,402,252
-1 -2 -3 -47,134,084 -70,701,126 -141,402,252

Let's try dividing by 4:

141,402,252 ÷ 4 = 35,350,563

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 35,350,563 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 35,350,563 47,134,084 70,701,126 141,402,252
-1 -2 -3 -4 -35,350,563 -47,134,084 -70,701,126 141,402,252
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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

1234612234669921382765419471,0821,6231,8942,1642,8413,2463,7885,6826,49211,36412,44321,78124,88637,32943,56249,77265,34374,65887,124130,686149,316261,372512,3271,024,6541,536,9812,049,3083,073,9626,147,92411,783,52123,567,04235,350,56347,134,08470,701,126141,402,252
