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 244,475, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
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 | 244,475 | |
| -1 | -244,475 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 244,475.
Example:
1 x 244,475 = 244,475
and
-1 x -244,475 = 244,475
Notice both answers equal 244,475
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 244,475 and divide it by 2:
244,475 ÷ 2 = 122,237.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 122,237.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 244,475 | |
| -1 | -244,475 |
Now, we try dividing 244,475 by 3:
244,475 ÷ 3 = 81,491.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 81,491.6667 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 244,475 | |
| -1 | -244,475 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
244,475 ÷ 4 = 61,118.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 61,118.75 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 244,475 | |
| -1 | 244,475 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 25 | 35 | 55 | 77 | 127 | 175 | 275 | 385 | 635 | 889 | 1,397 | 1,925 | 3,175 | 4,445 | 6,985 | 9,779 | 22,225 | 34,925 | 48,895 | 244,475 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -11 | -25 | -35 | -55 | -77 | -127 | -175 | -275 | -385 | -635 | -889 | -1,397 | -1,925 | -3,175 | -4,445 | -6,985 | -9,779 | -22,225 | -34,925 | -48,895 | -244,475 |
