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 541,415, 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 | 541,415 | |
| -1 | -541,415 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 541,415.
Example:
1 x 541,415 = 541,415
and
-1 x -541,415 = 541,415
Notice both answers equal 541,415
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 541,415 and divide it by 2:
541,415 ÷ 2 = 270,707.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 270,707.5 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 | 541,415 | |
| -1 | -541,415 |
Now, we try dividing 541,415 by 3:
541,415 ÷ 3 = 180,471.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 180,471.6667 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 | 541,415 | |
| -1 | -541,415 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
541,415 ÷ 4 = 135,353.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 135,353.75 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 | 541,415 | |
| -1 | 541,415 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 31 | 35 | 155 | 217 | 499 | 1,085 | 2,495 | 3,493 | 15,469 | 17,465 | 77,345 | 108,283 | 541,415 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -31 | -35 | -155 | -217 | -499 | -1,085 | -2,495 | -3,493 | -15,469 | -17,465 | -77,345 | -108,283 | -541,415 |
