How do I find the factor combinations of the number 197,113,812?

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 197,113,812, 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.

1 197,113,812
-1 -197,113,812

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 197,113,812.

Example:
1 x 197,113,812 = 197,113,812
and
-1 x -197,113,812 = 197,113,812
Notice both answers equal 197,113,812

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 197,113,812 and divide it by 2:

197,113,812 ÷ 2 = 98,556,906

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 98,556,906 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 98,556,906 197,113,812
-1 -2 -98,556,906 -197,113,812

Now, we try dividing 197,113,812 by 3:

197,113,812 ÷ 3 = 65,704,604

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 65,704,604 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 65,704,604 98,556,906 197,113,812
-1 -2 -3 -65,704,604 -98,556,906 -197,113,812

Let's try dividing by 4:

197,113,812 ÷ 4 = 49,278,453

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 49,278,453 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 49,278,453 65,704,604 98,556,906 197,113,812
-1 -2 -3 -4 -49,278,453 -65,704,604 -98,556,906 197,113,812
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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