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 540,265, 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 | 540,265 | |
| -1 | -540,265 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 540,265.
Example:
1 x 540,265 = 540,265
and
-1 x -540,265 = 540,265
Notice both answers equal 540,265
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 540,265 and divide it by 2:
540,265 ÷ 2 = 270,132.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 270,132.5 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 | 540,265 | |
| -1 | -540,265 |
Now, we try dividing 540,265 by 3:
540,265 ÷ 3 = 180,088.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 180,088.3333 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 | 540,265 | |
| -1 | -540,265 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
540,265 ÷ 4 = 135,066.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 135,066.25 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 | 540,265 | |
| -1 | 540,265 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 19 | 47 | 55 | 95 | 121 | 209 | 235 | 517 | 605 | 893 | 1,045 | 2,299 | 2,585 | 4,465 | 5,687 | 9,823 | 11,495 | 28,435 | 49,115 | 108,053 | 540,265 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -19 | -47 | -55 | -95 | -121 | -209 | -235 | -517 | -605 | -893 | -1,045 | -2,299 | -2,585 | -4,465 | -5,687 | -9,823 | -11,495 | -28,435 | -49,115 | -108,053 | -540,265 |
