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 525,635, 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 | 525,635 | |
| -1 | -525,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 525,635.
Example:
1 x 525,635 = 525,635
and
-1 x -525,635 = 525,635
Notice both answers equal 525,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 525,635 and divide it by 2:
525,635 ÷ 2 = 262,817.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 262,817.5 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 | 525,635 | |
| -1 | -525,635 |
Now, we try dividing 525,635 by 3:
525,635 ÷ 3 = 175,211.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 175,211.6667 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 | 525,635 | |
| -1 | -525,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
525,635 ÷ 4 = 131,408.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 131,408.75 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 | 525,635 | |
| -1 | 525,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 19 | 55 | 95 | 209 | 503 | 1,045 | 2,515 | 5,533 | 9,557 | 27,665 | 47,785 | 105,127 | 525,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -19 | -55 | -95 | -209 | -503 | -1,045 | -2,515 | -5,533 | -9,557 | -27,665 | -47,785 | -105,127 | -525,635 |
