How do I find the factor combinations of the number 670,275,571?

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 670,275,571, 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.

1 670,275,571
-1 -670,275,571

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 670,275,571.

Example:
1 x 670,275,571 = 670,275,571
and
-1 x -670,275,571 = 670,275,571
Notice both answers equal 670,275,571

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 670,275,571 and divide it by 2:

670,275,571 ÷ 2 = 335,137,785.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 335,137,785.5 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:

1 670,275,571
-1 -670,275,571

Now, we try dividing 670,275,571 by 3:

670,275,571 ÷ 3 = 223,425,190.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 223,425,190.3333 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:

1 670,275,571
-1 -670,275,571

Let's try dividing by 4:

670,275,571 ÷ 4 = 167,568,892.75

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 167,568,892.75 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:

1 670,275,571
-1 670,275,571
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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

1767714694974,75720,12933,299140,9031,348,6431,429,1599,440,50110,004,11395,753,653670,275,571
