How do I find the factor combinations of the number 455,124,005?

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 455,124,005, 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.

1 455,124,005
-1 -455,124,005

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 455,124,005.

Example:
1 x 455,124,005 = 455,124,005
and
-1 x -455,124,005 = 455,124,005
Notice both answers equal 455,124,005

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 455,124,005 and divide it by 2:

455,124,005 ÷ 2 = 227,562,002.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 227,562,002.5 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:

1 455,124,005
-1 -455,124,005

Now, we try dividing 455,124,005 by 3:

455,124,005 ÷ 3 = 151,708,001.6667

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 151,708,001.6667 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:

1 455,124,005
-1 -455,124,005

Let's try dividing by 4:

455,124,005 ÷ 4 = 113,781,001.25

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 113,781,001.25 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:

1 455,124,005
-1 455,124,005
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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

157193549951332456659314,65597,771488,855684,3971,857,6493,421,9854,790,7799,288,24513,003,54323,953,89565,017,71591,024,801455,124,005
