How do I find the factor combinations of the number 600,031,068?

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 600,031,068, 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.

1 600,031,068
-1 -600,031,068

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 600,031,068.

Example:
1 x 600,031,068 = 600,031,068
and
-1 x -600,031,068 = 600,031,068
Notice both answers equal 600,031,068

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 600,031,068 and divide it by 2:

600,031,068 ÷ 2 = 300,015,534

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 300,015,534 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 2 300,015,534 600,031,068
-1 -2 -300,015,534 -600,031,068

Now, we try dividing 600,031,068 by 3:

600,031,068 ÷ 3 = 200,010,356

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 200,010,356 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 3 200,010,356 300,015,534 600,031,068
-1 -2 -3 -200,010,356 -300,015,534 -600,031,068

Let's try dividing by 4:

600,031,068 ÷ 4 = 150,007,767

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 150,007,767 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 4 150,007,767 200,010,356 300,015,534 600,031,068
-1 -2 -3 -4 -150,007,767 -200,010,356 -300,015,534 600,031,068
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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