How do I find the factor combinations of the number 216,716,592?

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 216,716,592, 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.

1 216,716,592
-1 -216,716,592

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 216,716,592.

Example:
1 x 216,716,592 = 216,716,592
and
-1 x -216,716,592 = 216,716,592
Notice both answers equal 216,716,592

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 216,716,592 and divide it by 2:

216,716,592 ÷ 2 = 108,358,296

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 108,358,296 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 2 108,358,296 216,716,592
-1 -2 -108,358,296 -216,716,592

Now, we try dividing 216,716,592 by 3:

216,716,592 ÷ 3 = 72,238,864

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 72,238,864 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 72,238,864 108,358,296 216,716,592
-1 -2 -3 -72,238,864 -108,358,296 -216,716,592

Let's try dividing by 4:

216,716,592 ÷ 4 = 54,179,148

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 54,179,148 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 54,179,148 72,238,864 108,358,296 216,716,592
-1 -2 -3 -4 -54,179,148 -72,238,864 -108,358,296 216,716,592
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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