How do I find the factor combinations of the number 748,574,850?

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 748,574,850, 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.

1 748,574,850
-1 -748,574,850

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 748,574,850.

Example:
1 x 748,574,850 = 748,574,850
and
-1 x -748,574,850 = 748,574,850
Notice both answers equal 748,574,850

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 748,574,850 and divide it by 2:

748,574,850 ÷ 2 = 374,287,425

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 374,287,425 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 2 374,287,425 748,574,850
-1 -2 -374,287,425 -748,574,850

Now, we try dividing 748,574,850 by 3:

748,574,850 ÷ 3 = 249,524,950

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 249,524,950 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 3 249,524,950 374,287,425 748,574,850
-1 -2 -3 -249,524,950 -374,287,425 -748,574,850

Let's try dividing by 4:

748,574,850 ÷ 4 = 187,143,712.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 187,143,712.5 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 2 3 249,524,950 374,287,425 748,574,850
-1 -2 -3 -249,524,950 -374,287,425 748,574,850
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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