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 480,445, 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 | 480,445 | |
| -1 | -480,445 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 480,445.
Example:
1 x 480,445 = 480,445
and
-1 x -480,445 = 480,445
Notice both answers equal 480,445
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 480,445 and divide it by 2:
480,445 ÷ 2 = 240,222.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 240,222.5 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 | 480,445 | |
| -1 | -480,445 |
Now, we try dividing 480,445 by 3:
480,445 ÷ 3 = 160,148.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 160,148.3333 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 | 480,445 | |
| -1 | -480,445 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
480,445 ÷ 4 = 120,111.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 120,111.25 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 | 480,445 | |
| -1 | 480,445 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 37 | 49 | 53 | 185 | 245 | 259 | 265 | 371 | 1,295 | 1,813 | 1,855 | 1,961 | 2,597 | 9,065 | 9,805 | 12,985 | 13,727 | 68,635 | 96,089 | 480,445 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -37 | -49 | -53 | -185 | -245 | -259 | -265 | -371 | -1,295 | -1,813 | -1,855 | -1,961 | -2,597 | -9,065 | -9,805 | -12,985 | -13,727 | -68,635 | -96,089 | -480,445 |
