How do I find the factor combinations of the number 151,621,116?

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 151,621,116, 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.

1 151,621,116
-1 -151,621,116

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 151,621,116.

Example:
1 x 151,621,116 = 151,621,116
and
-1 x -151,621,116 = 151,621,116
Notice both answers equal 151,621,116

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 151,621,116 and divide it by 2:

151,621,116 ÷ 2 = 75,810,558

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 75,810,558 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 75,810,558 151,621,116
-1 -2 -75,810,558 -151,621,116

Now, we try dividing 151,621,116 by 3:

151,621,116 ÷ 3 = 50,540,372

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 50,540,372 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 50,540,372 75,810,558 151,621,116
-1 -2 -3 -50,540,372 -75,810,558 -151,621,116

Let's try dividing by 4:

151,621,116 ÷ 4 = 37,905,279

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 37,905,279 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 37,905,279 50,540,372 75,810,558 151,621,116
-1 -2 -3 -4 -37,905,279 -50,540,372 -75,810,558 151,621,116
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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