How do I find the factor combinations of the number 166,281,216?

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 166,281,216, 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.

1 166,281,216
-1 -166,281,216

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 166,281,216.

Example:
1 x 166,281,216 = 166,281,216
and
-1 x -166,281,216 = 166,281,216
Notice both answers equal 166,281,216

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 166,281,216 and divide it by 2:

166,281,216 ÷ 2 = 83,140,608

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 83,140,608 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 83,140,608 166,281,216
-1 -2 -83,140,608 -166,281,216

Now, we try dividing 166,281,216 by 3:

166,281,216 ÷ 3 = 55,427,072

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 55,427,072 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 55,427,072 83,140,608 166,281,216
-1 -2 -3 -55,427,072 -83,140,608 -166,281,216

Let's try dividing by 4:

166,281,216 ÷ 4 = 41,570,304

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 41,570,304 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 41,570,304 55,427,072 83,140,608 166,281,216
-1 -2 -3 -4 -41,570,304 -55,427,072 -83,140,608 166,281,216
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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