How do I find the factor combinations of the number 551,571,804?

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 551,571,804, 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.

1 551,571,804
-1 -551,571,804

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 551,571,804.

Example:
1 x 551,571,804 = 551,571,804
and
-1 x -551,571,804 = 551,571,804
Notice both answers equal 551,571,804

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 551,571,804 and divide it by 2:

551,571,804 ÷ 2 = 275,785,902

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 275,785,902 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 2 275,785,902 551,571,804
-1 -2 -275,785,902 -551,571,804

Now, we try dividing 551,571,804 by 3:

551,571,804 ÷ 3 = 183,857,268

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 183,857,268 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 3 183,857,268 275,785,902 551,571,804
-1 -2 -3 -183,857,268 -275,785,902 -551,571,804

Let's try dividing by 4:

551,571,804 ÷ 4 = 137,892,951

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 137,892,951 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 4 137,892,951 183,857,268 275,785,902 551,571,804
-1 -2 -3 -4 -137,892,951 -183,857,268 -275,785,902 551,571,804
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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