How do I find the factor combinations of the number 554,566,140?

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 554,566,140, 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.

1 554,566,140
-1 -554,566,140

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 554,566,140.

Example:
1 x 554,566,140 = 554,566,140
and
-1 x -554,566,140 = 554,566,140
Notice both answers equal 554,566,140

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 554,566,140 and divide it by 2:

554,566,140 ÷ 2 = 277,283,070

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 277,283,070 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 2 277,283,070 554,566,140
-1 -2 -277,283,070 -554,566,140

Now, we try dividing 554,566,140 by 3:

554,566,140 ÷ 3 = 184,855,380

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 184,855,380 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 3 184,855,380 277,283,070 554,566,140
-1 -2 -3 -184,855,380 -277,283,070 -554,566,140

Let's try dividing by 4:

554,566,140 ÷ 4 = 138,641,535

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 138,641,535 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 4 138,641,535 184,855,380 277,283,070 554,566,140
-1 -2 -3 -4 -138,641,535 -184,855,380 -277,283,070 554,566,140
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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