How do I find the factor combinations of the number 483,431,676?

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 483,431,676, 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.

1 483,431,676
-1 -483,431,676

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 483,431,676.

Example:
1 x 483,431,676 = 483,431,676
and
-1 x -483,431,676 = 483,431,676
Notice both answers equal 483,431,676

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 483,431,676 and divide it by 2:

483,431,676 ÷ 2 = 241,715,838

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 241,715,838 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 2 241,715,838 483,431,676
-1 -2 -241,715,838 -483,431,676

Now, we try dividing 483,431,676 by 3:

483,431,676 ÷ 3 = 161,143,892

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 161,143,892 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 3 161,143,892 241,715,838 483,431,676
-1 -2 -3 -161,143,892 -241,715,838 -483,431,676

Let's try dividing by 4:

483,431,676 ÷ 4 = 120,857,919

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 120,857,919 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 4 120,857,919 161,143,892 241,715,838 483,431,676
-1 -2 -3 -4 -120,857,919 -161,143,892 -241,715,838 483,431,676
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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