How do I find the factor combinations of the number 15,123,024?

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 15,123,024, 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 15,123,024
-1 -15,123,024

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 15,123,024.

Example:
1 x 15,123,024 = 15,123,024
and
-1 x -15,123,024 = 15,123,024
Notice both answers equal 15,123,024

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 15,123,024 and divide it by 2:

15,123,024 ÷ 2 = 7,561,512

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,561,512 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 7,561,512 15,123,024
-1 -2 -7,561,512 -15,123,024

Now, we try dividing 15,123,024 by 3:

15,123,024 ÷ 3 = 5,041,008

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,041,008 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 5,041,008 7,561,512 15,123,024
-1 -2 -3 -5,041,008 -7,561,512 -15,123,024

Let's try dividing by 4:

15,123,024 ÷ 4 = 3,780,756

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,780,756 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 3,780,756 5,041,008 7,561,512 15,123,024
-1 -2 -3 -4 -3,780,756 -5,041,008 -7,561,512 15,123,024
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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