How do I find the factor combinations of the number 45,535,296?

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 45,535,296, 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 45,535,296
-1 -45,535,296

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 45,535,296.

Example:
1 x 45,535,296 = 45,535,296
and
-1 x -45,535,296 = 45,535,296
Notice both answers equal 45,535,296

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 45,535,296 and divide it by 2:

45,535,296 ÷ 2 = 22,767,648

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,767,648 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 22,767,648 45,535,296
-1 -2 -22,767,648 -45,535,296

Now, we try dividing 45,535,296 by 3:

45,535,296 ÷ 3 = 15,178,432

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,178,432 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 15,178,432 22,767,648 45,535,296
-1 -2 -3 -15,178,432 -22,767,648 -45,535,296

Let's try dividing by 4:

45,535,296 ÷ 4 = 11,383,824

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,383,824 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 11,383,824 15,178,432 22,767,648 45,535,296
-1 -2 -3 -4 -11,383,824 -15,178,432 -22,767,648 45,535,296
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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