How do I find the factor combinations of the number 28,413,168?

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 28,413,168, 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 28,413,168
-1 -28,413,168

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 28,413,168.

Example:
1 x 28,413,168 = 28,413,168
and
-1 x -28,413,168 = 28,413,168
Notice both answers equal 28,413,168

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 28,413,168 and divide it by 2:

28,413,168 ÷ 2 = 14,206,584

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 14,206,584 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 14,206,584 28,413,168
-1 -2 -14,206,584 -28,413,168

Now, we try dividing 28,413,168 by 3:

28,413,168 ÷ 3 = 9,471,056

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,471,056 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 9,471,056 14,206,584 28,413,168
-1 -2 -3 -9,471,056 -14,206,584 -28,413,168

Let's try dividing by 4:

28,413,168 ÷ 4 = 7,103,292

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,103,292 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 7,103,292 9,471,056 14,206,584 28,413,168
-1 -2 -3 -4 -7,103,292 -9,471,056 -14,206,584 28,413,168
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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