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 386,425, 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 | 386,425 | |
| -1 | -386,425 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 386,425.
Example:
1 x 386,425 = 386,425
and
-1 x -386,425 = 386,425
Notice both answers equal 386,425
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 386,425 and divide it by 2:
386,425 ÷ 2 = 193,212.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 193,212.5 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 | 386,425 | |
| -1 | -386,425 |
Now, we try dividing 386,425 by 3:
386,425 ÷ 3 = 128,808.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 128,808.3333 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 | 386,425 | |
| -1 | -386,425 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
386,425 ÷ 4 = 96,606.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 96,606.25 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 | 386,425 | |
| -1 | 386,425 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 25 | 29 | 41 | 65 | 145 | 205 | 325 | 377 | 533 | 725 | 1,025 | 1,189 | 1,885 | 2,665 | 5,945 | 9,425 | 13,325 | 15,457 | 29,725 | 77,285 | 386,425 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -25 | -29 | -41 | -65 | -145 | -205 | -325 | -377 | -533 | -725 | -1,025 | -1,189 | -1,885 | -2,665 | -5,945 | -9,425 | -13,325 | -15,457 | -29,725 | -77,285 | -386,425 |
