How do I find the factor combinations of the number 81,485,800?

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 81,485,800, 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 81,485,800
-1 -81,485,800

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 81,485,800.

Example:
1 x 81,485,800 = 81,485,800
and
-1 x -81,485,800 = 81,485,800
Notice both answers equal 81,485,800

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 81,485,800 and divide it by 2:

81,485,800 ÷ 2 = 40,742,900

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 40,742,900 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 40,742,900 81,485,800
-1 -2 -40,742,900 -81,485,800

Now, we try dividing 81,485,800 by 3:

81,485,800 ÷ 3 = 27,161,933.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 27,161,933.3333 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 2 40,742,900 81,485,800
-1 -2 -40,742,900 -81,485,800

Let's try dividing by 4:

81,485,800 ÷ 4 = 20,371,450

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 20,371,450 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 20,371,450 40,742,900 81,485,800
-1 -2 -4 -20,371,450 -40,742,900 81,485,800
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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