How do I find the factor combinations of the number 514,665,456?

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 514,665,456, 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.

1 514,665,456
-1 -514,665,456

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 514,665,456.

Example:
1 x 514,665,456 = 514,665,456
and
-1 x -514,665,456 = 514,665,456
Notice both answers equal 514,665,456

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 514,665,456 and divide it by 2:

514,665,456 ÷ 2 = 257,332,728

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 257,332,728 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 2 257,332,728 514,665,456
-1 -2 -257,332,728 -514,665,456

Now, we try dividing 514,665,456 by 3:

514,665,456 ÷ 3 = 171,555,152

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 171,555,152 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 3 171,555,152 257,332,728 514,665,456
-1 -2 -3 -171,555,152 -257,332,728 -514,665,456

Let's try dividing by 4:

514,665,456 ÷ 4 = 128,666,364

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 128,666,364 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 4 128,666,364 171,555,152 257,332,728 514,665,456
-1 -2 -3 -4 -128,666,364 -171,555,152 -257,332,728 514,665,456
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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