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 338,975, 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 | 338,975 | |
| -1 | -338,975 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 338,975.
Example:
1 x 338,975 = 338,975
and
-1 x -338,975 = 338,975
Notice both answers equal 338,975
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 338,975 and divide it by 2:
338,975 ÷ 2 = 169,487.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 169,487.5 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 | 338,975 | |
| -1 | -338,975 |
Now, we try dividing 338,975 by 3:
338,975 ÷ 3 = 112,991.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 112,991.6667 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 | 338,975 | |
| -1 | -338,975 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
338,975 ÷ 4 = 84,743.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 84,743.75 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 | 338,975 | |
| -1 | 338,975 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 13 | 25 | 35 | 65 | 91 | 149 | 175 | 325 | 455 | 745 | 1,043 | 1,937 | 2,275 | 3,725 | 5,215 | 9,685 | 13,559 | 26,075 | 48,425 | 67,795 | 338,975 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -13 | -25 | -35 | -65 | -91 | -149 | -175 | -325 | -455 | -745 | -1,043 | -1,937 | -2,275 | -3,725 | -5,215 | -9,685 | -13,559 | -26,075 | -48,425 | -67,795 | -338,975 |
