How do I find the factor combinations of the number 289,440?

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 289,440, 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.

1 289,440
-1 -289,440

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 289,440.

Example:
1 x 289,440 = 289,440
and
-1 x -289,440 = 289,440
Notice both answers equal 289,440

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 289,440 and divide it by 2:

289,440 ÷ 2 = 144,720

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 144,720 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 2 144,720 289,440
-1 -2 -144,720 -289,440

Now, we try dividing 289,440 by 3:

289,440 ÷ 3 = 96,480

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 96,480 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 96,480 144,720 289,440
-1 -2 -3 -96,480 -144,720 -289,440

Let's try dividing by 4:

289,440 ÷ 4 = 72,360

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 72,360 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 72,360 96,480 144,720 289,440
-1 -2 -3 -4 -72,360 -96,480 -144,720 289,440
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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