How do I find the factor combinations of the number 205,504,398?

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 205,504,398, 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.

1 205,504,398
-1 -205,504,398

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 205,504,398.

Example:
1 x 205,504,398 = 205,504,398
and
-1 x -205,504,398 = 205,504,398
Notice both answers equal 205,504,398

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 205,504,398 and divide it by 2:

205,504,398 ÷ 2 = 102,752,199

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 102,752,199 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 2 102,752,199 205,504,398
-1 -2 -102,752,199 -205,504,398

Now, we try dividing 205,504,398 by 3:

205,504,398 ÷ 3 = 68,501,466

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 68,501,466 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 68,501,466 102,752,199 205,504,398
-1 -2 -3 -68,501,466 -102,752,199 -205,504,398

Let's try dividing by 4:

205,504,398 ÷ 4 = 51,376,099.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 51,376,099.5 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 3 68,501,466 102,752,199 205,504,398
-1 -2 -3 -68,501,466 -102,752,199 205,504,398
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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