How do I find the factor combinations of the number 70,133,371?

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 70,133,371, 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 70,133,371
-1 -70,133,371

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 70,133,371.

Example:
1 x 70,133,371 = 70,133,371
and
-1 x -70,133,371 = 70,133,371
Notice both answers equal 70,133,371

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 70,133,371 and divide it by 2:

70,133,371 ÷ 2 = 35,066,685.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 35,066,685.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 70,133,371
-1 -70,133,371

Now, we try dividing 70,133,371 by 3:

70,133,371 ÷ 3 = 23,377,790.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 23,377,790.3333 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 70,133,371
-1 -70,133,371

Let's try dividing by 4:

70,133,371 ÷ 4 = 17,533,342.75

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 17,533,342.75 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 70,133,371
-1 70,133,371
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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

171123771611992531,3931,7712,1894,57715,32332,03939,60150,347277,207352,429435,611910,8233,049,2776,375,76110,019,05370,133,371
