How do I find the factor combinations of the number 556,010,244?

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 556,010,244, 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.

1 556,010,244
-1 -556,010,244

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 556,010,244.

Example:
1 x 556,010,244 = 556,010,244
and
-1 x -556,010,244 = 556,010,244
Notice both answers equal 556,010,244

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 556,010,244 and divide it by 2:

556,010,244 ÷ 2 = 278,005,122

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 278,005,122 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 2 278,005,122 556,010,244
-1 -2 -278,005,122 -556,010,244

Now, we try dividing 556,010,244 by 3:

556,010,244 ÷ 3 = 185,336,748

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 185,336,748 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 3 185,336,748 278,005,122 556,010,244
-1 -2 -3 -185,336,748 -278,005,122 -556,010,244

Let's try dividing by 4:

556,010,244 ÷ 4 = 139,002,561

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 139,002,561 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 4 139,002,561 185,336,748 278,005,122 556,010,244
-1 -2 -3 -4 -139,002,561 -185,336,748 -278,005,122 556,010,244
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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