How do I find the factor combinations of the number 627,984?

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 627,984, 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.

1 627,984
-1 -627,984

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 627,984.

Example:
1 x 627,984 = 627,984
and
-1 x -627,984 = 627,984
Notice both answers equal 627,984

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 627,984 and divide it by 2:

627,984 ÷ 2 = 313,992

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 313,992 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 2 313,992 627,984
-1 -2 -313,992 -627,984

Now, we try dividing 627,984 by 3:

627,984 ÷ 3 = 209,328

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 209,328 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 3 209,328 313,992 627,984
-1 -2 -3 -209,328 -313,992 -627,984

Let's try dividing by 4:

627,984 ÷ 4 = 156,996

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 156,996 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 4 156,996 209,328 313,992 627,984
-1 -2 -3 -4 -156,996 -209,328 -313,992 627,984
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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