How do I find the factor combinations of the number 635,712?

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 635,712, 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.

1 635,712
-1 -635,712

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 635,712.

Example:
1 x 635,712 = 635,712
and
-1 x -635,712 = 635,712
Notice both answers equal 635,712

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 635,712 and divide it by 2:

635,712 ÷ 2 = 317,856

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 317,856 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 2 317,856 635,712
-1 -2 -317,856 -635,712

Now, we try dividing 635,712 by 3:

635,712 ÷ 3 = 211,904

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 211,904 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 3 211,904 317,856 635,712
-1 -2 -3 -211,904 -317,856 -635,712

Let's try dividing by 4:

635,712 ÷ 4 = 158,928

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 158,928 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 4 158,928 211,904 317,856 635,712
-1 -2 -3 -4 -158,928 -211,904 -317,856 635,712
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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