How do I find the factor combinations of the number 601,444,008?

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 601,444,008, 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.

1 601,444,008
-1 -601,444,008

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 601,444,008.

Example:
1 x 601,444,008 = 601,444,008
and
-1 x -601,444,008 = 601,444,008
Notice both answers equal 601,444,008

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 601,444,008 and divide it by 2:

601,444,008 ÷ 2 = 300,722,004

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 300,722,004 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 2 300,722,004 601,444,008
-1 -2 -300,722,004 -601,444,008

Now, we try dividing 601,444,008 by 3:

601,444,008 ÷ 3 = 200,481,336

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 200,481,336 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 3 200,481,336 300,722,004 601,444,008
-1 -2 -3 -200,481,336 -300,722,004 -601,444,008

Let's try dividing by 4:

601,444,008 ÷ 4 = 150,361,002

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 150,361,002 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 4 150,361,002 200,481,336 300,722,004 601,444,008
-1 -2 -3 -4 -150,361,002 -200,481,336 -300,722,004 601,444,008
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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