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 568,675, 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 | 568,675 | |
| -1 | -568,675 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 568,675.
Example:
1 x 568,675 = 568,675
and
-1 x -568,675 = 568,675
Notice both answers equal 568,675
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 568,675 and divide it by 2:
568,675 ÷ 2 = 284,337.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 284,337.5 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 | 568,675 | |
| -1 | -568,675 |
Now, we try dividing 568,675 by 3:
568,675 ÷ 3 = 189,558.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 189,558.3333 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 | 568,675 | |
| -1 | -568,675 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
568,675 ÷ 4 = 142,168.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 142,168.75 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 | 568,675 | |
| -1 | 568,675 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 25 | 43 | 115 | 215 | 529 | 575 | 989 | 1,075 | 2,645 | 4,945 | 13,225 | 22,747 | 24,725 | 113,735 | 568,675 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -25 | -43 | -115 | -215 | -529 | -575 | -989 | -1,075 | -2,645 | -4,945 | -13,225 | -22,747 | -24,725 | -113,735 | -568,675 |
