How do I find the factor combinations of the number 590,304?

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 590,304, 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.

1 590,304
-1 -590,304

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 590,304.

Example:
1 x 590,304 = 590,304
and
-1 x -590,304 = 590,304
Notice both answers equal 590,304

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 590,304 and divide it by 2:

590,304 ÷ 2 = 295,152

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 295,152 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 2 295,152 590,304
-1 -2 -295,152 -590,304

Now, we try dividing 590,304 by 3:

590,304 ÷ 3 = 196,768

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 196,768 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 3 196,768 295,152 590,304
-1 -2 -3 -196,768 -295,152 -590,304

Let's try dividing by 4:

590,304 ÷ 4 = 147,576

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 147,576 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 4 147,576 196,768 295,152 590,304
-1 -2 -3 -4 -147,576 -196,768 -295,152 590,304
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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