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 530,495, 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 | 530,495 | |
| -1 | -530,495 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 530,495.
Example:
1 x 530,495 = 530,495
and
-1 x -530,495 = 530,495
Notice both answers equal 530,495
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 530,495 and divide it by 2:
530,495 ÷ 2 = 265,247.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 265,247.5 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 | 530,495 | |
| -1 | -530,495 |
Now, we try dividing 530,495 by 3:
530,495 ÷ 3 = 176,831.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 176,831.6667 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 | 530,495 | |
| -1 | -530,495 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
530,495 ÷ 4 = 132,623.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 132,623.75 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 | 530,495 | |
| -1 | 530,495 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 23 | 35 | 115 | 161 | 659 | 805 | 3,295 | 4,613 | 15,157 | 23,065 | 75,785 | 106,099 | 530,495 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -23 | -35 | -115 | -161 | -659 | -805 | -3,295 | -4,613 | -15,157 | -23,065 | -75,785 | -106,099 | -530,495 |
