How do I find the factor combinations of the number 855,576?

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 855,576, 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.

1 855,576
-1 -855,576

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 855,576.

Example:
1 x 855,576 = 855,576
and
-1 x -855,576 = 855,576
Notice both answers equal 855,576

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 855,576 and divide it by 2:

855,576 ÷ 2 = 427,788

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 427,788 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 2 427,788 855,576
-1 -2 -427,788 -855,576

Now, we try dividing 855,576 by 3:

855,576 ÷ 3 = 285,192

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 285,192 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 3 285,192 427,788 855,576
-1 -2 -3 -285,192 -427,788 -855,576

Let's try dividing by 4:

855,576 ÷ 4 = 213,894

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 213,894 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 4 213,894 285,192 427,788 855,576
-1 -2 -3 -4 -213,894 -285,192 -427,788 855,576
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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