How do I find the factor combinations of the number 481,364,772?

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 481,364,772, 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.

1 481,364,772
-1 -481,364,772

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 481,364,772.

Example:
1 x 481,364,772 = 481,364,772
and
-1 x -481,364,772 = 481,364,772
Notice both answers equal 481,364,772

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 481,364,772 and divide it by 2:

481,364,772 ÷ 2 = 240,682,386

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 240,682,386 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 2 240,682,386 481,364,772
-1 -2 -240,682,386 -481,364,772

Now, we try dividing 481,364,772 by 3:

481,364,772 ÷ 3 = 160,454,924

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 160,454,924 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 3 160,454,924 240,682,386 481,364,772
-1 -2 -3 -160,454,924 -240,682,386 -481,364,772

Let's try dividing by 4:

481,364,772 ÷ 4 = 120,341,193

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 120,341,193 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 4 120,341,193 160,454,924 240,682,386 481,364,772
-1 -2 -3 -4 -120,341,193 -160,454,924 -240,682,386 481,364,772
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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