How do I find the factor combinations of the number 40,466,328?

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 40,466,328, 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 40,466,328
-1 -40,466,328

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 40,466,328.

Example:
1 x 40,466,328 = 40,466,328
and
-1 x -40,466,328 = 40,466,328
Notice both answers equal 40,466,328

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 40,466,328 and divide it by 2:

40,466,328 ÷ 2 = 20,233,164

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,233,164 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 20,233,164 40,466,328
-1 -2 -20,233,164 -40,466,328

Now, we try dividing 40,466,328 by 3:

40,466,328 ÷ 3 = 13,488,776

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,488,776 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 3 13,488,776 20,233,164 40,466,328
-1 -2 -3 -13,488,776 -20,233,164 -40,466,328

Let's try dividing by 4:

40,466,328 ÷ 4 = 10,116,582

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,116,582 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 10,116,582 13,488,776 20,233,164 40,466,328
-1 -2 -3 -4 -10,116,582 -13,488,776 -20,233,164 40,466,328
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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