How do I find the factor combinations of the number 408,789,450?

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 408,789,450, 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.

1 408,789,450
-1 -408,789,450

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 408,789,450.

Example:
1 x 408,789,450 = 408,789,450
and
-1 x -408,789,450 = 408,789,450
Notice both answers equal 408,789,450

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 408,789,450 and divide it by 2:

408,789,450 ÷ 2 = 204,394,725

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 204,394,725 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 2 204,394,725 408,789,450
-1 -2 -204,394,725 -408,789,450

Now, we try dividing 408,789,450 by 3:

408,789,450 ÷ 3 = 136,263,150

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 136,263,150 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 3 136,263,150 204,394,725 408,789,450
-1 -2 -3 -136,263,150 -204,394,725 -408,789,450

Let's try dividing by 4:

408,789,450 ÷ 4 = 102,197,362.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 102,197,362.5 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 3 136,263,150 204,394,725 408,789,450
-1 -2 -3 -136,263,150 -204,394,725 408,789,450
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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