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 404,495, 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 | 404,495 | |
| -1 | -404,495 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 404,495.
Example:
1 x 404,495 = 404,495
and
-1 x -404,495 = 404,495
Notice both answers equal 404,495
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 404,495 and divide it by 2:
404,495 ÷ 2 = 202,247.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 202,247.5 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 | 404,495 | |
| -1 | -404,495 |
Now, we try dividing 404,495 by 3:
404,495 ÷ 3 = 134,831.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 134,831.6667 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 | 404,495 | |
| -1 | -404,495 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
404,495 ÷ 4 = 101,123.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 101,123.75 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 | 404,495 | |
| -1 | 404,495 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 13 | 35 | 49 | 65 | 91 | 127 | 245 | 455 | 635 | 637 | 889 | 1,651 | 3,185 | 4,445 | 6,223 | 8,255 | 11,557 | 31,115 | 57,785 | 80,899 | 404,495 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -13 | -35 | -49 | -65 | -91 | -127 | -245 | -455 | -635 | -637 | -889 | -1,651 | -3,185 | -4,445 | -6,223 | -8,255 | -11,557 | -31,115 | -57,785 | -80,899 | -404,495 |
