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 539,275, 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 | 539,275 | |
| -1 | -539,275 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 539,275.
Example:
1 x 539,275 = 539,275
and
-1 x -539,275 = 539,275
Notice both answers equal 539,275
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 539,275 and divide it by 2:
539,275 ÷ 2 = 269,637.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 269,637.5 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 | 539,275 | |
| -1 | -539,275 |
Now, we try dividing 539,275 by 3:
539,275 ÷ 3 = 179,758.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 179,758.3333 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 | 539,275 | |
| -1 | -539,275 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
539,275 ÷ 4 = 134,818.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 134,818.75 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 | 539,275 | |
| -1 | 539,275 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 37 | 53 | 55 | 185 | 265 | 275 | 407 | 583 | 925 | 1,325 | 1,961 | 2,035 | 2,915 | 9,805 | 10,175 | 14,575 | 21,571 | 49,025 | 107,855 | 539,275 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -37 | -53 | -55 | -185 | -265 | -275 | -407 | -583 | -925 | -1,325 | -1,961 | -2,035 | -2,915 | -9,805 | -10,175 | -14,575 | -21,571 | -49,025 | -107,855 | -539,275 |
