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 472,549, 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 | 472,549 | |
| -1 | -472,549 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 472,549.
Example:
1 x 472,549 = 472,549
and
-1 x -472,549 = 472,549
Notice both answers equal 472,549
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 472,549 and divide it by 2:
472,549 ÷ 2 = 236,274.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 236,274.5 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 | 472,549 | |
| -1 | -472,549 |
Now, we try dividing 472,549 by 3:
472,549 ÷ 3 = 157,516.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 157,516.3333 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 | 472,549 | |
| -1 | -472,549 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
472,549 ÷ 4 = 118,137.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 118,137.25 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 | 472,549 | |
| -1 | 472,549 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 17 | 19 | 77 | 119 | 133 | 187 | 209 | 323 | 361 | 1,309 | 1,463 | 2,261 | 2,527 | 3,553 | 3,971 | 6,137 | 24,871 | 27,797 | 42,959 | 67,507 | 472,549 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -17 | -19 | -77 | -119 | -133 | -187 | -209 | -323 | -361 | -1,309 | -1,463 | -2,261 | -2,527 | -3,553 | -3,971 | -6,137 | -24,871 | -27,797 | -42,959 | -67,507 | -472,549 |
