How do I find the factor combinations of the number 65,241,025?

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 65,241,025, 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 65,241,025
-1 -65,241,025

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 65,241,025.

Example:
1 x 65,241,025 = 65,241,025
and
-1 x -65,241,025 = 65,241,025
Notice both answers equal 65,241,025

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 65,241,025 and divide it by 2:

65,241,025 ÷ 2 = 32,620,512.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 32,620,512.5 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 65,241,025
-1 -65,241,025

Now, we try dividing 65,241,025 by 3:

65,241,025 ÷ 3 = 21,747,008.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 21,747,008.3333 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 65,241,025
-1 -65,241,025

Let's try dividing by 4:

65,241,025 ÷ 4 = 16,310,256.25

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 16,310,256.25 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 65,241,025
-1 65,241,025
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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

1525611792393058951,1951,5254,4755,97510,91914,57942,78154,59572,895213,905272,975364,4751,069,5252,609,64113,048,20565,241,025
-1-5-25-61-179-239-305-895-1,195-1,525-4,475-5,975-10,919-14,579-42,781-54,595-72,895-213,905-272,975-364,475-1,069,525-2,609,641-13,048,205-65,241,025
