How do I find the factor combinations of the number 500,547,320?

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 500,547,320, 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.

1 500,547,320
-1 -500,547,320

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 500,547,320.

Example:
1 x 500,547,320 = 500,547,320
and
-1 x -500,547,320 = 500,547,320
Notice both answers equal 500,547,320

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 500,547,320 and divide it by 2:

500,547,320 ÷ 2 = 250,273,660

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 250,273,660 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 2 250,273,660 500,547,320
-1 -2 -250,273,660 -500,547,320

Now, we try dividing 500,547,320 by 3:

500,547,320 ÷ 3 = 166,849,106.6667

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 166,849,106.6667 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 2 250,273,660 500,547,320
-1 -2 -250,273,660 -500,547,320

Let's try dividing by 4:

500,547,320 ÷ 4 = 125,136,830

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 125,136,830 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 4 125,136,830 250,273,660 500,547,320
-1 -2 -4 -125,136,830 -250,273,660 500,547,320
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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