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 492,575, 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 | 492,575 | |
| -1 | -492,575 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 492,575.
Example:
1 x 492,575 = 492,575
and
-1 x -492,575 = 492,575
Notice both answers equal 492,575
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 492,575 and divide it by 2:
492,575 ÷ 2 = 246,287.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 246,287.5 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 | 492,575 | |
| -1 | -492,575 |
Now, we try dividing 492,575 by 3:
492,575 ÷ 3 = 164,191.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 164,191.6667 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 | 492,575 | |
| -1 | -492,575 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
492,575 ÷ 4 = 123,143.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 123,143.75 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 | 492,575 | |
| -1 | 492,575 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 19 | 25 | 61 | 85 | 95 | 305 | 323 | 425 | 475 | 1,037 | 1,159 | 1,525 | 1,615 | 5,185 | 5,795 | 8,075 | 19,703 | 25,925 | 28,975 | 98,515 | 492,575 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -19 | -25 | -61 | -85 | -95 | -305 | -323 | -425 | -475 | -1,037 | -1,159 | -1,525 | -1,615 | -5,185 | -5,795 | -8,075 | -19,703 | -25,925 | -28,975 | -98,515 | -492,575 |
