How do I find the factor combinations of the number 774,600?

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 774,600, 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.

1 774,600
-1 -774,600

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 774,600.

Example:
1 x 774,600 = 774,600
and
-1 x -774,600 = 774,600
Notice both answers equal 774,600

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 774,600 and divide it by 2:

774,600 ÷ 2 = 387,300

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 387,300 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 2 387,300 774,600
-1 -2 -387,300 -774,600

Now, we try dividing 774,600 by 3:

774,600 ÷ 3 = 258,200

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 258,200 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 3 258,200 387,300 774,600
-1 -2 -3 -258,200 -387,300 -774,600

Let's try dividing by 4:

774,600 ÷ 4 = 193,650

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 193,650 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 4 193,650 258,200 387,300 774,600
-1 -2 -3 -4 -193,650 -258,200 -387,300 774,600
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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