How do I find the factor combinations of the number 154,112,412?

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 154,112,412, 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.

1 154,112,412
-1 -154,112,412

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 154,112,412.

Example:
1 x 154,112,412 = 154,112,412
and
-1 x -154,112,412 = 154,112,412
Notice both answers equal 154,112,412

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 154,112,412 and divide it by 2:

154,112,412 ÷ 2 = 77,056,206

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 77,056,206 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 77,056,206 154,112,412
-1 -2 -77,056,206 -154,112,412

Now, we try dividing 154,112,412 by 3:

154,112,412 ÷ 3 = 51,370,804

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 51,370,804 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 51,370,804 77,056,206 154,112,412
-1 -2 -3 -51,370,804 -77,056,206 -154,112,412

Let's try dividing by 4:

154,112,412 ÷ 4 = 38,528,103

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 38,528,103 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 38,528,103 51,370,804 77,056,206 154,112,412
-1 -2 -3 -4 -38,528,103 -51,370,804 -77,056,206 154,112,412
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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