How do I find the factor combinations of the number 201,120,240?

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 201,120,240, 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.

1 201,120,240
-1 -201,120,240

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 201,120,240.

Example:
1 x 201,120,240 = 201,120,240
and
-1 x -201,120,240 = 201,120,240
Notice both answers equal 201,120,240

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 201,120,240 and divide it by 2:

201,120,240 ÷ 2 = 100,560,120

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 100,560,120 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 2 100,560,120 201,120,240
-1 -2 -100,560,120 -201,120,240

Now, we try dividing 201,120,240 by 3:

201,120,240 ÷ 3 = 67,040,080

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 67,040,080 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 67,040,080 100,560,120 201,120,240
-1 -2 -3 -67,040,080 -100,560,120 -201,120,240

Let's try dividing by 4:

201,120,240 ÷ 4 = 50,280,060

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 50,280,060 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 50,280,060 67,040,080 100,560,120 201,120,240
-1 -2 -3 -4 -50,280,060 -67,040,080 -100,560,120 201,120,240
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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