How do I find the factor combinations of the number 240,000?

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 240,000, 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.

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 240,000.

Example:
1 x 240,000 = 240,000
and
-1 x -240,000 = 240,000
Notice both answers equal 240,000

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 240,000 and divide it by 2:

240,000 ÷ 2 = 120,000

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 120,000 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:

Now, we try dividing 240,000 by 3:

240,000 ÷ 3 = 80,000

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 80,000 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:

Let's try dividing by 4:

240,000 ÷ 4 = 60,000

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 60,000 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:

Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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

1. Once I got bullied by a fat kid named Chester so I took my Pumped Up Kicks to school today (my Jordan 8's Aqua) and then he dabbed so hard he broke his arm and I wasn't responsible for it. If you ever get bullied, bring your Pumped Up Kicks to school (your J's) and wait for them to dab so hard they broke their arm. (This isn't real, it's just a JOOOOOOOOOOKE).
