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 322,525, 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 | 322,525 | |
| -1 | -322,525 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 322,525.
Example:
1 x 322,525 = 322,525
and
-1 x -322,525 = 322,525
Notice both answers equal 322,525
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 322,525 and divide it by 2:
322,525 ÷ 2 = 161,262.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 161,262.5 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 | 322,525 | |
| -1 | -322,525 |
Now, we try dividing 322,525 by 3:
322,525 ÷ 3 = 107,508.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 107,508.3333 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 | 322,525 | |
| -1 | -322,525 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
322,525 ÷ 4 = 80,631.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 80,631.25 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 | 322,525 | |
| -1 | 322,525 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 19 | 25 | 35 | 95 | 97 | 133 | 175 | 475 | 485 | 665 | 679 | 1,843 | 2,425 | 3,325 | 3,395 | 9,215 | 12,901 | 16,975 | 46,075 | 64,505 | 322,525 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -19 | -25 | -35 | -95 | -97 | -133 | -175 | -475 | -485 | -665 | -679 | -1,843 | -2,425 | -3,325 | -3,395 | -9,215 | -12,901 | -16,975 | -46,075 | -64,505 | -322,525 |
