How do I find the factor combinations of the number 307,267,236?

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 307,267,236, 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.

1 307,267,236
-1 -307,267,236

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 307,267,236.

Example:
1 x 307,267,236 = 307,267,236
and
-1 x -307,267,236 = 307,267,236
Notice both answers equal 307,267,236

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 307,267,236 and divide it by 2:

307,267,236 ÷ 2 = 153,633,618

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 153,633,618 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 2 153,633,618 307,267,236
-1 -2 -153,633,618 -307,267,236

Now, we try dividing 307,267,236 by 3:

307,267,236 ÷ 3 = 102,422,412

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 102,422,412 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 3 102,422,412 153,633,618 307,267,236
-1 -2 -3 -102,422,412 -153,633,618 -307,267,236

Let's try dividing by 4:

307,267,236 ÷ 4 = 76,816,809

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 76,816,809 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 76,816,809 102,422,412 153,633,618 307,267,236
-1 -2 -3 -4 -76,816,809 -102,422,412 -153,633,618 307,267,236
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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