How do I find the factor combinations of the number 630,753,097?

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 630,753,097, 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.

1 630,753,097
-1 -630,753,097

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 630,753,097.

Example:
1 x 630,753,097 = 630,753,097
and
-1 x -630,753,097 = 630,753,097
Notice both answers equal 630,753,097

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 630,753,097 and divide it by 2:

630,753,097 ÷ 2 = 315,376,548.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 315,376,548.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 630,753,097
-1 -630,753,097

Now, we try dividing 630,753,097 by 3:

630,753,097 ÷ 3 = 210,251,032.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 210,251,032.3333 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 630,753,097
-1 -630,753,097

Let's try dividing by 4:

630,753,097 ÷ 4 = 157,688,274.25

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 157,688,274.25 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 630,753,097
-1 630,753,097
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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

113374817331,7899,52923,25727,12166,193352,573860,5091,311,33717,047,38148,519,469630,753,097
