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 517,075, 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 | 517,075 | |
| -1 | -517,075 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 517,075.
Example:
1 x 517,075 = 517,075
and
-1 x -517,075 = 517,075
Notice both answers equal 517,075
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 517,075 and divide it by 2:
517,075 ÷ 2 = 258,537.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 258,537.5 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 | 517,075 | |
| -1 | -517,075 |
Now, we try dividing 517,075 by 3:
517,075 ÷ 3 = 172,358.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 172,358.3333 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 | 517,075 | |
| -1 | -517,075 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
517,075 ÷ 4 = 129,268.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 129,268.75 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 | 517,075 | |
| -1 | 517,075 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 25 | 37 | 43 | 65 | 185 | 215 | 325 | 481 | 559 | 925 | 1,075 | 1,591 | 2,405 | 2,795 | 7,955 | 12,025 | 13,975 | 20,683 | 39,775 | 103,415 | 517,075 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -25 | -37 | -43 | -65 | -185 | -215 | -325 | -481 | -559 | -925 | -1,075 | -1,591 | -2,405 | -2,795 | -7,955 | -12,025 | -13,975 | -20,683 | -39,775 | -103,415 | -517,075 |
