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 458,983, 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 | 458,983 | |
| -1 | -458,983 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 458,983.
Example:
1 x 458,983 = 458,983
and
-1 x -458,983 = 458,983
Notice both answers equal 458,983
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 458,983 and divide it by 2:
458,983 ÷ 2 = 229,491.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 229,491.5 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 | 458,983 | |
| -1 | -458,983 |
Now, we try dividing 458,983 by 3:
458,983 ÷ 3 = 152,994.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 152,994.3333 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 | 458,983 | |
| -1 | -458,983 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
458,983 ÷ 4 = 114,745.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 114,745.75 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 | 458,983 | |
| -1 | 458,983 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 19 | 29 | 49 | 119 | 133 | 203 | 323 | 493 | 551 | 833 | 931 | 1,421 | 2,261 | 3,451 | 3,857 | 9,367 | 15,827 | 24,157 | 26,999 | 65,569 | 458,983 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -19 | -29 | -49 | -119 | -133 | -203 | -323 | -493 | -551 | -833 | -931 | -1,421 | -2,261 | -3,451 | -3,857 | -9,367 | -15,827 | -24,157 | -26,999 | -65,569 | -458,983 |
