How do I find the factor combinations of the number 760,529?

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 760,529, 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.

1 760,529
-1 -760,529

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 760,529.

Example:
1 x 760,529 = 760,529
and
-1 x -760,529 = 760,529
Notice both answers equal 760,529

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 760,529 and divide it by 2:

760,529 ÷ 2 = 380,264.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 380,264.5 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:

1 760,529
-1 -760,529

Now, we try dividing 760,529 by 3:

760,529 ÷ 3 = 253,509.6667

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 253,509.6667 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:

1 760,529
-1 -760,529

Let's try dividing by 4:

760,529 ÷ 4 = 190,132.25

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 190,132.25 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:

1 760,529
-1 760,529
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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

1711174977831191875395818339131,3091,4114,0676,3919,1639,87715,52144,73769,139108,647760,529
