How do I find the factor combinations of the number 33,873,552?

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 33,873,552, 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 33,873,552
-1 -33,873,552

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 33,873,552.

Example:
1 x 33,873,552 = 33,873,552
and
-1 x -33,873,552 = 33,873,552
Notice both answers equal 33,873,552

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 33,873,552 and divide it by 2:

33,873,552 ÷ 2 = 16,936,776

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,936,776 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 16,936,776 33,873,552
-1 -2 -16,936,776 -33,873,552

Now, we try dividing 33,873,552 by 3:

33,873,552 ÷ 3 = 11,291,184

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,291,184 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 11,291,184 16,936,776 33,873,552
-1 -2 -3 -11,291,184 -16,936,776 -33,873,552

Let's try dividing by 4:

33,873,552 ÷ 4 = 8,468,388

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,468,388 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 8,468,388 11,291,184 16,936,776 33,873,552
-1 -2 -3 -4 -8,468,388 -11,291,184 -16,936,776 33,873,552
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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