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 437,255, 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 | 437,255 | |
| -1 | -437,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 437,255.
Example:
1 x 437,255 = 437,255
and
-1 x -437,255 = 437,255
Notice both answers equal 437,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 437,255 and divide it by 2:
437,255 ÷ 2 = 218,627.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 218,627.5 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 | 437,255 | |
| -1 | -437,255 |
Now, we try dividing 437,255 by 3:
437,255 ÷ 3 = 145,751.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 145,751.6667 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 | 437,255 | |
| -1 | -437,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
437,255 ÷ 4 = 109,313.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 109,313.75 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 | 437,255 | |
| -1 | 437,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 13 | 31 | 35 | 65 | 91 | 155 | 217 | 403 | 455 | 961 | 1,085 | 2,015 | 2,821 | 4,805 | 6,727 | 12,493 | 14,105 | 33,635 | 62,465 | 87,451 | 437,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -13 | -31 | -35 | -65 | -91 | -155 | -217 | -403 | -455 | -961 | -1,085 | -2,015 | -2,821 | -4,805 | -6,727 | -12,493 | -14,105 | -33,635 | -62,465 | -87,451 | -437,255 |
