How do I find the factor combinations of the number 140,760?

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 140,760, 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.

1 140,760
-1 -140,760

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 140,760.

Example:
1 x 140,760 = 140,760
and
-1 x -140,760 = 140,760
Notice both answers equal 140,760

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 140,760 and divide it by 2:

140,760 ÷ 2 = 70,380

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 70,380 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 70,380 140,760
-1 -2 -70,380 -140,760

Now, we try dividing 140,760 by 3:

140,760 ÷ 3 = 46,920

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 46,920 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 46,920 70,380 140,760
-1 -2 -3 -46,920 -70,380 -140,760

Let's try dividing by 4:

140,760 ÷ 4 = 35,190

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 35,190 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 35,190 46,920 70,380 140,760
-1 -2 -3 -4 -35,190 -46,920 -70,380 140,760
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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