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 324,275, 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 | 324,275 | |
| -1 | -324,275 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 324,275.
Example:
1 x 324,275 = 324,275
and
-1 x -324,275 = 324,275
Notice both answers equal 324,275
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 324,275 and divide it by 2:
324,275 ÷ 2 = 162,137.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 162,137.5 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 | 324,275 | |
| -1 | -324,275 |
Now, we try dividing 324,275 by 3:
324,275 ÷ 3 = 108,091.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 108,091.6667 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 | 324,275 | |
| -1 | -324,275 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
324,275 ÷ 4 = 81,068.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 81,068.75 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 | 324,275 | |
| -1 | 324,275 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 25 | 35 | 85 | 109 | 119 | 175 | 425 | 545 | 595 | 763 | 1,853 | 2,725 | 2,975 | 3,815 | 9,265 | 12,971 | 19,075 | 46,325 | 64,855 | 324,275 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -25 | -35 | -85 | -109 | -119 | -175 | -425 | -545 | -595 | -763 | -1,853 | -2,725 | -2,975 | -3,815 | -9,265 | -12,971 | -19,075 | -46,325 | -64,855 | -324,275 |
