How do I find the factor combinations of the number 227,100?

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 227,100, 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.

1 227,100
-1 -227,100

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 227,100.

Example:
1 x 227,100 = 227,100
and
-1 x -227,100 = 227,100
Notice both answers equal 227,100

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 227,100 and divide it by 2:

227,100 ÷ 2 = 113,550

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 113,550 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 2 113,550 227,100
-1 -2 -113,550 -227,100

Now, we try dividing 227,100 by 3:

227,100 ÷ 3 = 75,700

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 75,700 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 75,700 113,550 227,100
-1 -2 -3 -75,700 -113,550 -227,100

Let's try dividing by 4:

227,100 ÷ 4 = 56,775

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 56,775 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 56,775 75,700 113,550 227,100
-1 -2 -3 -4 -56,775 -75,700 -113,550 227,100
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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