How do I find the factor combinations of the number 695,652?

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 695,652, 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.

1 695,652
-1 -695,652

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 695,652.

Example:
1 x 695,652 = 695,652
and
-1 x -695,652 = 695,652
Notice both answers equal 695,652

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 695,652 and divide it by 2:

695,652 ÷ 2 = 347,826

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 347,826 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 2 347,826 695,652
-1 -2 -347,826 -695,652

Now, we try dividing 695,652 by 3:

695,652 ÷ 3 = 231,884

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 231,884 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 3 231,884 347,826 695,652
-1 -2 -3 -231,884 -347,826 -695,652

Let's try dividing by 4:

695,652 ÷ 4 = 173,913

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 173,913 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 4 173,913 231,884 347,826 695,652
-1 -2 -3 -4 -173,913 -231,884 -347,826 695,652
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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