How do I find the factor combinations of the number 1,089,156?

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 1,089,156, 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 1,089,156
-1 -1,089,156

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 1,089,156.

Example:
1 x 1,089,156 = 1,089,156
and
-1 x -1,089,156 = 1,089,156
Notice both answers equal 1,089,156

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,089,156 and divide it by 2:

1,089,156 ÷ 2 = 544,578

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 544,578 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 2 544,578 1,089,156
-1 -2 -544,578 -1,089,156

Now, we try dividing 1,089,156 by 3:

1,089,156 ÷ 3 = 363,052

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 363,052 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 3 363,052 544,578 1,089,156
-1 -2 -3 -363,052 -544,578 -1,089,156

Let's try dividing by 4:

1,089,156 ÷ 4 = 272,289

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 272,289 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 4 272,289 363,052 544,578 1,089,156
-1 -2 -3 -4 -272,289 -363,052 -544,578 1,089,156
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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