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 588,665, 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 | 588,665 | |
| -1 | -588,665 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 588,665.
Example:
1 x 588,665 = 588,665
and
-1 x -588,665 = 588,665
Notice both answers equal 588,665
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 588,665 and divide it by 2:
588,665 ÷ 2 = 294,332.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 294,332.5 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 | 588,665 | |
| -1 | -588,665 |
Now, we try dividing 588,665 by 3:
588,665 ÷ 3 = 196,221.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 196,221.6667 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 | 588,665 | |
| -1 | -588,665 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
588,665 ÷ 4 = 147,166.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 147,166.25 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 | 588,665 | |
| -1 | 588,665 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 35 | 55 | 77 | 121 | 139 | 385 | 605 | 695 | 847 | 973 | 1,529 | 4,235 | 4,865 | 7,645 | 10,703 | 16,819 | 53,515 | 84,095 | 117,733 | 588,665 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -11 | -35 | -55 | -77 | -121 | -139 | -385 | -605 | -695 | -847 | -973 | -1,529 | -4,235 | -4,865 | -7,645 | -10,703 | -16,819 | -53,515 | -84,095 | -117,733 | -588,665 |
