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 586,775, 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 | 586,775 | |
| -1 | -586,775 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 586,775.
Example:
1 x 586,775 = 586,775
and
-1 x -586,775 = 586,775
Notice both answers equal 586,775
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 586,775 and divide it by 2:
586,775 ÷ 2 = 293,387.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 293,387.5 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 | 586,775 | |
| -1 | -586,775 |
Now, we try dividing 586,775 by 3:
586,775 ÷ 3 = 195,591.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 195,591.6667 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 | 586,775 | |
| -1 | -586,775 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
586,775 ÷ 4 = 146,693.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 146,693.75 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 | 586,775 | |
| -1 | 586,775 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 49 | 175 | 245 | 479 | 1,225 | 2,395 | 3,353 | 11,975 | 16,765 | 23,471 | 83,825 | 117,355 | 586,775 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -49 | -175 | -245 | -479 | -1,225 | -2,395 | -3,353 | -11,975 | -16,765 | -23,471 | -83,825 | -117,355 | -586,775 |
