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 297,275, 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 | 297,275 | |
| -1 | -297,275 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 297,275.
Example:
1 x 297,275 = 297,275
and
-1 x -297,275 = 297,275
Notice both answers equal 297,275
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 297,275 and divide it by 2:
297,275 ÷ 2 = 148,637.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 148,637.5 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 | 297,275 | |
| -1 | -297,275 |
Now, we try dividing 297,275 by 3:
297,275 ÷ 3 = 99,091.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 99,091.6667 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 | 297,275 | |
| -1 | -297,275 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
297,275 ÷ 4 = 74,318.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 74,318.75 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 | 297,275 | |
| -1 | 297,275 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 23 | 25 | 47 | 55 | 115 | 235 | 253 | 275 | 517 | 575 | 1,081 | 1,175 | 1,265 | 2,585 | 5,405 | 6,325 | 11,891 | 12,925 | 27,025 | 59,455 | 297,275 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -23 | -25 | -47 | -55 | -115 | -235 | -253 | -275 | -517 | -575 | -1,081 | -1,175 | -1,265 | -2,585 | -5,405 | -6,325 | -11,891 | -12,925 | -27,025 | -59,455 | -297,275 |
