How do I find the factor combinations of the number 761,234,124?

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 761,234,124, 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.

1 761,234,124
-1 -761,234,124

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 761,234,124.

Example:
1 x 761,234,124 = 761,234,124
and
-1 x -761,234,124 = 761,234,124
Notice both answers equal 761,234,124

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 761,234,124 and divide it by 2:

761,234,124 ÷ 2 = 380,617,062

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 380,617,062 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 2 380,617,062 761,234,124
-1 -2 -380,617,062 -761,234,124

Now, we try dividing 761,234,124 by 3:

761,234,124 ÷ 3 = 253,744,708

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 253,744,708 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 3 253,744,708 380,617,062 761,234,124
-1 -2 -3 -253,744,708 -380,617,062 -761,234,124

Let's try dividing by 4:

761,234,124 ÷ 4 = 190,308,531

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 190,308,531 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 4 190,308,531 253,744,708 380,617,062 761,234,124
-1 -2 -3 -4 -190,308,531 -253,744,708 -380,617,062 761,234,124
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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