How do I find the factor combinations of the number 578,952?

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 578,952, 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.

1 578,952
-1 -578,952

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 578,952.

Example:
1 x 578,952 = 578,952
and
-1 x -578,952 = 578,952
Notice both answers equal 578,952

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 578,952 and divide it by 2:

578,952 ÷ 2 = 289,476

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 289,476 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 2 289,476 578,952
-1 -2 -289,476 -578,952

Now, we try dividing 578,952 by 3:

578,952 ÷ 3 = 192,984

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 192,984 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 3 192,984 289,476 578,952
-1 -2 -3 -192,984 -289,476 -578,952

Let's try dividing by 4:

578,952 ÷ 4 = 144,738

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 144,738 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 4 144,738 192,984 289,476 578,952
-1 -2 -3 -4 -144,738 -192,984 -289,476 578,952
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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