How do I find the factor combinations of the number 60,340,332?

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 60,340,332, 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 60,340,332
-1 -60,340,332

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 60,340,332.

Example:
1 x 60,340,332 = 60,340,332
and
-1 x -60,340,332 = 60,340,332
Notice both answers equal 60,340,332

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,340,332 and divide it by 2:

60,340,332 ÷ 2 = 30,170,166

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,170,166 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 30,170,166 60,340,332
-1 -2 -30,170,166 -60,340,332

Now, we try dividing 60,340,332 by 3:

60,340,332 ÷ 3 = 20,113,444

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,113,444 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 20,113,444 30,170,166 60,340,332
-1 -2 -3 -20,113,444 -30,170,166 -60,340,332

Let's try dividing by 4:

60,340,332 ÷ 4 = 15,085,083

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,085,083 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 15,085,083 20,113,444 30,170,166 60,340,332
-1 -2 -3 -4 -15,085,083 -20,113,444 -30,170,166 60,340,332
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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