How do I find the factor combinations of the number 464,235,420?

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 464,235,420, 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.

1 464,235,420
-1 -464,235,420

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 464,235,420.

Example:
1 x 464,235,420 = 464,235,420
and
-1 x -464,235,420 = 464,235,420
Notice both answers equal 464,235,420

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 464,235,420 and divide it by 2:

464,235,420 ÷ 2 = 232,117,710

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 232,117,710 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 2 232,117,710 464,235,420
-1 -2 -232,117,710 -464,235,420

Now, we try dividing 464,235,420 by 3:

464,235,420 ÷ 3 = 154,745,140

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 154,745,140 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 3 154,745,140 232,117,710 464,235,420
-1 -2 -3 -154,745,140 -232,117,710 -464,235,420

Let's try dividing by 4:

464,235,420 ÷ 4 = 116,058,855

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 116,058,855 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 4 116,058,855 154,745,140 232,117,710 464,235,420
-1 -2 -3 -4 -116,058,855 -154,745,140 -232,117,710 464,235,420
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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