How do I find the factor combinations of the number 258,324,264?

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 258,324,264, 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.

1 258,324,264
-1 -258,324,264

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 258,324,264.

Example:
1 x 258,324,264 = 258,324,264
and
-1 x -258,324,264 = 258,324,264
Notice both answers equal 258,324,264

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 258,324,264 and divide it by 2:

258,324,264 ÷ 2 = 129,162,132

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 129,162,132 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 2 129,162,132 258,324,264
-1 -2 -129,162,132 -258,324,264

Now, we try dividing 258,324,264 by 3:

258,324,264 ÷ 3 = 86,108,088

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 86,108,088 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 86,108,088 129,162,132 258,324,264
-1 -2 -3 -86,108,088 -129,162,132 -258,324,264

Let's try dividing by 4:

258,324,264 ÷ 4 = 64,581,066

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 64,581,066 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 64,581,066 86,108,088 129,162,132 258,324,264
-1 -2 -3 -4 -64,581,066 -86,108,088 -129,162,132 258,324,264
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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