How do I find the factor combinations of the number 844,200?

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 844,200, 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.

1 844,200
-1 -844,200

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 844,200.

Example:
1 x 844,200 = 844,200
and
-1 x -844,200 = 844,200
Notice both answers equal 844,200

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 844,200 and divide it by 2:

844,200 ÷ 2 = 422,100

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 422,100 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 2 422,100 844,200
-1 -2 -422,100 -844,200

Now, we try dividing 844,200 by 3:

844,200 ÷ 3 = 281,400

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 281,400 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 3 281,400 422,100 844,200
-1 -2 -3 -281,400 -422,100 -844,200

Let's try dividing by 4:

844,200 ÷ 4 = 211,050

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 211,050 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 4 211,050 281,400 422,100 844,200
-1 -2 -3 -4 -211,050 -281,400 -422,100 844,200
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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