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 304,535, 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 | 304,535 | |
| -1 | -304,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 304,535.
Example:
1 x 304,535 = 304,535
and
-1 x -304,535 = 304,535
Notice both answers equal 304,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 304,535 and divide it by 2:
304,535 ÷ 2 = 152,267.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 152,267.5 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 | 304,535 | |
| -1 | -304,535 |
Now, we try dividing 304,535 by 3:
304,535 ÷ 3 = 101,511.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 101,511.6667 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 | 304,535 | |
| -1 | -304,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
304,535 ÷ 4 = 76,133.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 76,133.75 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 | 304,535 | |
| -1 | 304,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 35 | 49 | 55 | 77 | 113 | 245 | 385 | 539 | 565 | 791 | 1,243 | 2,695 | 3,955 | 5,537 | 6,215 | 8,701 | 27,685 | 43,505 | 60,907 | 304,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -11 | -35 | -49 | -55 | -77 | -113 | -245 | -385 | -539 | -565 | -791 | -1,243 | -2,695 | -3,955 | -5,537 | -6,215 | -8,701 | -27,685 | -43,505 | -60,907 | -304,535 |
