How do I find the factor combinations of the number 79,687,776?

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 79,687,776, 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 79,687,776
-1 -79,687,776

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 79,687,776.

Example:
1 x 79,687,776 = 79,687,776
and
-1 x -79,687,776 = 79,687,776
Notice both answers equal 79,687,776

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 79,687,776 and divide it by 2:

79,687,776 ÷ 2 = 39,843,888

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 39,843,888 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 39,843,888 79,687,776
-1 -2 -39,843,888 -79,687,776

Now, we try dividing 79,687,776 by 3:

79,687,776 ÷ 3 = 26,562,592

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 26,562,592 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 26,562,592 39,843,888 79,687,776
-1 -2 -3 -26,562,592 -39,843,888 -79,687,776

Let's try dividing by 4:

79,687,776 ÷ 4 = 19,921,944

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 19,921,944 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 19,921,944 26,562,592 39,843,888 79,687,776
-1 -2 -3 -4 -19,921,944 -26,562,592 -39,843,888 79,687,776
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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