How do I find the factor combinations of the number 901,992?

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 901,992, 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.

1 901,992
-1 -901,992

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 901,992.

Example:
1 x 901,992 = 901,992
and
-1 x -901,992 = 901,992
Notice both answers equal 901,992

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 901,992 and divide it by 2:

901,992 ÷ 2 = 450,996

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 450,996 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 2 450,996 901,992
-1 -2 -450,996 -901,992

Now, we try dividing 901,992 by 3:

901,992 ÷ 3 = 300,664

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 300,664 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 3 300,664 450,996 901,992
-1 -2 -3 -300,664 -450,996 -901,992

Let's try dividing by 4:

901,992 ÷ 4 = 225,498

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 225,498 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 4 225,498 300,664 450,996 901,992
-1 -2 -3 -4 -225,498 -300,664 -450,996 901,992
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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