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 563,101, 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 | 563,101 | |
| -1 | -563,101 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 563,101.
Example:
1 x 563,101 = 563,101
and
-1 x -563,101 = 563,101
Notice both answers equal 563,101
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 563,101 and divide it by 2:
563,101 ÷ 2 = 281,550.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 281,550.5 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 | 563,101 | |
| -1 | -563,101 |
Now, we try dividing 563,101 by 3:
563,101 ÷ 3 = 187,700.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 187,700.3333 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 | 563,101 | |
| -1 | -563,101 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
563,101 ÷ 4 = 140,775.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 140,775.25 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 | 563,101 | |
| -1 | 563,101 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 71 | 77 | 103 | 497 | 721 | 781 | 1,133 | 5,467 | 7,313 | 7,931 | 51,191 | 80,443 | 563,101 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -71 | -77 | -103 | -497 | -721 | -781 | -1,133 | -5,467 | -7,313 | -7,931 | -51,191 | -80,443 | -563,101 |
