How do I find the factor combinations of the number 247,145,052?

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 247,145,052, 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.

1 247,145,052
-1 -247,145,052

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 247,145,052.

Example:
1 x 247,145,052 = 247,145,052
and
-1 x -247,145,052 = 247,145,052
Notice both answers equal 247,145,052

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 247,145,052 and divide it by 2:

247,145,052 ÷ 2 = 123,572,526

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 123,572,526 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 2 123,572,526 247,145,052
-1 -2 -123,572,526 -247,145,052

Now, we try dividing 247,145,052 by 3:

247,145,052 ÷ 3 = 82,381,684

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 82,381,684 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 82,381,684 123,572,526 247,145,052
-1 -2 -3 -82,381,684 -123,572,526 -247,145,052

Let's try dividing by 4:

247,145,052 ÷ 4 = 61,786,263

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 61,786,263 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 61,786,263 82,381,684 123,572,526 247,145,052
-1 -2 -3 -4 -61,786,263 -82,381,684 -123,572,526 247,145,052
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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