How do I find the factor combinations of the number 60,535,752?

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 60,535,752, 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 60,535,752
-1 -60,535,752

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 60,535,752.

Example:
1 x 60,535,752 = 60,535,752
and
-1 x -60,535,752 = 60,535,752
Notice both answers equal 60,535,752

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,535,752 and divide it by 2:

60,535,752 ÷ 2 = 30,267,876

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,267,876 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 30,267,876 60,535,752
-1 -2 -30,267,876 -60,535,752

Now, we try dividing 60,535,752 by 3:

60,535,752 ÷ 3 = 20,178,584

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,178,584 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 20,178,584 30,267,876 60,535,752
-1 -2 -3 -20,178,584 -30,267,876 -60,535,752

Let's try dividing by 4:

60,535,752 ÷ 4 = 15,133,938

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,133,938 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 15,133,938 20,178,584 30,267,876 60,535,752
-1 -2 -3 -4 -15,133,938 -20,178,584 -30,267,876 60,535,752
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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