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 460,915, 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 | 460,915 | |
| -1 | -460,915 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 460,915.
Example:
1 x 460,915 = 460,915
and
-1 x -460,915 = 460,915
Notice both answers equal 460,915
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 460,915 and divide it by 2:
460,915 ÷ 2 = 230,457.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 230,457.5 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 | 460,915 | |
| -1 | -460,915 |
Now, we try dividing 460,915 by 3:
460,915 ÷ 3 = 153,638.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 153,638.3333 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 | 460,915 | |
| -1 | -460,915 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
460,915 ÷ 4 = 115,228.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 115,228.75 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 | 460,915 | |
| -1 | 460,915 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 13 | 35 | 65 | 91 | 455 | 1,013 | 5,065 | 7,091 | 13,169 | 35,455 | 65,845 | 92,183 | 460,915 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -13 | -35 | -65 | -91 | -455 | -1,013 | -5,065 | -7,091 | -13,169 | -35,455 | -65,845 | -92,183 | -460,915 |
