How do I find the factor combinations of the number 768,780,288?

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 768,780,288, 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.

1 768,780,288
-1 -768,780,288

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 768,780,288.

Example:
1 x 768,780,288 = 768,780,288
and
-1 x -768,780,288 = 768,780,288
Notice both answers equal 768,780,288

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 768,780,288 and divide it by 2:

768,780,288 ÷ 2 = 384,390,144

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 384,390,144 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 2 384,390,144 768,780,288
-1 -2 -384,390,144 -768,780,288

Now, we try dividing 768,780,288 by 3:

768,780,288 ÷ 3 = 256,260,096

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 256,260,096 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 3 256,260,096 384,390,144 768,780,288
-1 -2 -3 -256,260,096 -384,390,144 -768,780,288

Let's try dividing by 4:

768,780,288 ÷ 4 = 192,195,072

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 192,195,072 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 4 192,195,072 256,260,096 384,390,144 768,780,288
-1 -2 -3 -4 -192,195,072 -256,260,096 -384,390,144 768,780,288
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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