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 548,275, 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 | 548,275 | |
| -1 | -548,275 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 548,275.
Example:
1 x 548,275 = 548,275
and
-1 x -548,275 = 548,275
Notice both answers equal 548,275
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 548,275 and divide it by 2:
548,275 ÷ 2 = 274,137.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 274,137.5 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 | 548,275 | |
| -1 | -548,275 |
Now, we try dividing 548,275 by 3:
548,275 ÷ 3 = 182,758.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 182,758.3333 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 | 548,275 | |
| -1 | -548,275 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
548,275 ÷ 4 = 137,068.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 137,068.75 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 | 548,275 | |
| -1 | 548,275 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 13 | 25 | 35 | 65 | 91 | 175 | 241 | 325 | 455 | 1,205 | 1,687 | 2,275 | 3,133 | 6,025 | 8,435 | 15,665 | 21,931 | 42,175 | 78,325 | 109,655 | 548,275 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -13 | -25 | -35 | -65 | -91 | -175 | -241 | -325 | -455 | -1,205 | -1,687 | -2,275 | -3,133 | -6,025 | -8,435 | -15,665 | -21,931 | -42,175 | -78,325 | -109,655 | -548,275 |
