How do I find the factor combinations of the number 184,088,150?

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 184,088,150, 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.

1 184,088,150
-1 -184,088,150

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 184,088,150.

Example:
1 x 184,088,150 = 184,088,150
and
-1 x -184,088,150 = 184,088,150
Notice both answers equal 184,088,150

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 184,088,150 and divide it by 2:

184,088,150 ÷ 2 = 92,044,075

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 92,044,075 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 92,044,075 184,088,150
-1 -2 -92,044,075 -184,088,150

Now, we try dividing 184,088,150 by 3:

184,088,150 ÷ 3 = 61,362,716.6667

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 61,362,716.6667 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 92,044,075 184,088,150
-1 -2 -92,044,075 -184,088,150

Let's try dividing by 4:

184,088,150 ÷ 4 = 46,022,037.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 46,022,037.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 92,044,075 184,088,150
-1 -2 -92,044,075 184,088,150
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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

1251019253850951071902144755359501,0701,8112,0332,6753,6224,0665,3509,05510,16518,11020,33034,40945,27550,82568,81890,550101,650172,045193,777344,090387,554860,225968,8851,720,4501,937,7703,681,7634,844,4257,363,5269,688,85018,408,81536,817,63092,044,075184,088,150
