How do I find the factor combinations of the number 98,257,740?

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 98,257,740, 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 98,257,740
-1 -98,257,740

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 98,257,740.

Example:
1 x 98,257,740 = 98,257,740
and
-1 x -98,257,740 = 98,257,740
Notice both answers equal 98,257,740

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 98,257,740 and divide it by 2:

98,257,740 ÷ 2 = 49,128,870

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 49,128,870 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 49,128,870 98,257,740
-1 -2 -49,128,870 -98,257,740

Now, we try dividing 98,257,740 by 3:

98,257,740 ÷ 3 = 32,752,580

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 32,752,580 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 32,752,580 49,128,870 98,257,740
-1 -2 -3 -32,752,580 -49,128,870 -98,257,740

Let's try dividing by 4:

98,257,740 ÷ 4 = 24,564,435

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 24,564,435 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 24,564,435 32,752,580 49,128,870 98,257,740
-1 -2 -3 -4 -24,564,435 -32,752,580 -49,128,870 98,257,740
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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