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 588,115, 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 | 588,115 | |
| -1 | -588,115 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 588,115.
Example:
1 x 588,115 = 588,115
and
-1 x -588,115 = 588,115
Notice both answers equal 588,115
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 588,115 and divide it by 2:
588,115 ÷ 2 = 294,057.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 294,057.5 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 | 588,115 | |
| -1 | -588,115 |
Now, we try dividing 588,115 by 3:
588,115 ÷ 3 = 196,038.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 196,038.3333 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 | 588,115 | |
| -1 | -588,115 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
588,115 ÷ 4 = 147,028.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 147,028.75 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 | 588,115 | |
| -1 | 588,115 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 17 | 37 | 55 | 85 | 185 | 187 | 289 | 407 | 629 | 935 | 1,445 | 2,035 | 3,145 | 3,179 | 6,919 | 10,693 | 15,895 | 34,595 | 53,465 | 117,623 | 588,115 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -17 | -37 | -55 | -85 | -185 | -187 | -289 | -407 | -629 | -935 | -1,445 | -2,035 | -3,145 | -3,179 | -6,919 | -10,693 | -15,895 | -34,595 | -53,465 | -117,623 | -588,115 |
