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 466,235, 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 | 466,235 | |
| -1 | -466,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 466,235.
Example:
1 x 466,235 = 466,235
and
-1 x -466,235 = 466,235
Notice both answers equal 466,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 466,235 and divide it by 2:
466,235 ÷ 2 = 233,117.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 233,117.5 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 | 466,235 | |
| -1 | -466,235 |
Now, we try dividing 466,235 by 3:
466,235 ÷ 3 = 155,411.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 155,411.6667 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 | 466,235 | |
| -1 | -466,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
466,235 ÷ 4 = 116,558.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 116,558.75 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 | 466,235 | |
| -1 | 466,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 35 | 49 | 55 | 77 | 173 | 245 | 385 | 539 | 865 | 1,211 | 1,903 | 2,695 | 6,055 | 8,477 | 9,515 | 13,321 | 42,385 | 66,605 | 93,247 | 466,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -11 | -35 | -49 | -55 | -77 | -173 | -245 | -385 | -539 | -865 | -1,211 | -1,903 | -2,695 | -6,055 | -8,477 | -9,515 | -13,321 | -42,385 | -66,605 | -93,247 | -466,235 |
