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 427,063, 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 | 427,063 | |
| -1 | -427,063 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 427,063.
Example:
1 x 427,063 = 427,063
and
-1 x -427,063 = 427,063
Notice both answers equal 427,063
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 427,063 and divide it by 2:
427,063 ÷ 2 = 213,531.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 213,531.5 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 | 427,063 | |
| -1 | -427,063 |
Now, we try dividing 427,063 by 3:
427,063 ÷ 3 = 142,354.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 142,354.3333 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 | 427,063 | |
| -1 | -427,063 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
427,063 ÷ 4 = 106,765.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 106,765.75 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 | 427,063 | |
| -1 | 427,063 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 19 | 91 | 133 | 169 | 247 | 361 | 1,183 | 1,729 | 2,527 | 3,211 | 4,693 | 22,477 | 32,851 | 61,009 | 427,063 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -19 | -91 | -133 | -169 | -247 | -361 | -1,183 | -1,729 | -2,527 | -3,211 | -4,693 | -22,477 | -32,851 | -61,009 | -427,063 |
