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 299,299, 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 | 299,299 | |
| -1 | -299,299 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 299,299.
Example:
1 x 299,299 = 299,299
and
-1 x -299,299 = 299,299
Notice both answers equal 299,299
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 299,299 and divide it by 2:
299,299 ÷ 2 = 149,649.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 149,649.5 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 | 299,299 | |
| -1 | -299,299 |
Now, we try dividing 299,299 by 3:
299,299 ÷ 3 = 99,766.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 99,766.3333 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 | 299,299 | |
| -1 | -299,299 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
299,299 ÷ 4 = 74,824.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 74,824.75 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 | 299,299 | |
| -1 | 299,299 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 13 | 23 | 77 | 91 | 143 | 161 | 169 | 253 | 299 | 1,001 | 1,183 | 1,771 | 1,859 | 2,093 | 3,289 | 3,887 | 13,013 | 23,023 | 27,209 | 42,757 | 299,299 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -13 | -23 | -77 | -91 | -143 | -161 | -169 | -253 | -299 | -1,001 | -1,183 | -1,771 | -1,859 | -2,093 | -3,289 | -3,887 | -13,013 | -23,023 | -27,209 | -42,757 | -299,299 |
