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 323,675, 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 | 323,675 | |
| -1 | -323,675 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 323,675.
Example:
1 x 323,675 = 323,675
and
-1 x -323,675 = 323,675
Notice both answers equal 323,675
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 323,675 and divide it by 2:
323,675 ÷ 2 = 161,837.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 161,837.5 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 | 323,675 | |
| -1 | -323,675 |
Now, we try dividing 323,675 by 3:
323,675 ÷ 3 = 107,891.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 107,891.6667 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 | 323,675 | |
| -1 | -323,675 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
323,675 ÷ 4 = 80,918.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 80,918.75 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 | 323,675 | |
| -1 | 323,675 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 107 | 121 | 275 | 535 | 605 | 1,177 | 2,675 | 3,025 | 5,885 | 12,947 | 29,425 | 64,735 | 323,675 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -107 | -121 | -275 | -535 | -605 | -1,177 | -2,675 | -3,025 | -5,885 | -12,947 | -29,425 | -64,735 | -323,675 |
