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 427,525, 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 | 427,525 | |
| -1 | -427,525 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 427,525.
Example:
1 x 427,525 = 427,525
and
-1 x -427,525 = 427,525
Notice both answers equal 427,525
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 427,525 and divide it by 2:
427,525 ÷ 2 = 213,762.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 213,762.5 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 | 427,525 | |
| -1 | -427,525 |
Now, we try dividing 427,525 by 3:
427,525 ÷ 3 = 142,508.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 142,508.3333 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 | 427,525 | |
| -1 | -427,525 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
427,525 ÷ 4 = 106,881.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 106,881.25 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 | 427,525 | |
| -1 | 427,525 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 49 | 175 | 245 | 349 | 1,225 | 1,745 | 2,443 | 8,725 | 12,215 | 17,101 | 61,075 | 85,505 | 427,525 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -49 | -175 | -245 | -349 | -1,225 | -1,745 | -2,443 | -8,725 | -12,215 | -17,101 | -61,075 | -85,505 | -427,525 |
