How do I find the factor combinations of the number 73,206,224?

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 73,206,224, 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 73,206,224
-1 -73,206,224

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 73,206,224.

Example:
1 x 73,206,224 = 73,206,224
and
-1 x -73,206,224 = 73,206,224
Notice both answers equal 73,206,224

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 73,206,224 and divide it by 2:

73,206,224 ÷ 2 = 36,603,112

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 36,603,112 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 36,603,112 73,206,224
-1 -2 -36,603,112 -73,206,224

Now, we try dividing 73,206,224 by 3:

73,206,224 ÷ 3 = 24,402,074.6667

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 24,402,074.6667 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 2 36,603,112 73,206,224
-1 -2 -36,603,112 -73,206,224

Let's try dividing by 4:

73,206,224 ÷ 4 = 18,301,556

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 18,301,556 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 4 18,301,556 36,603,112 73,206,224
-1 -2 -4 -18,301,556 -36,603,112 73,206,224
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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