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 597,025, 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 | 597,025 | |
| -1 | -597,025 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 597,025.
Example:
1 x 597,025 = 597,025
and
-1 x -597,025 = 597,025
Notice both answers equal 597,025
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 597,025 and divide it by 2:
597,025 ÷ 2 = 298,512.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 298,512.5 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 | 597,025 | |
| -1 | -597,025 |
Now, we try dividing 597,025 by 3:
597,025 ÷ 3 = 199,008.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 199,008.3333 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 | 597,025 | |
| -1 | -597,025 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
597,025 ÷ 4 = 149,256.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 149,256.25 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 | 597,025 | |
| -1 | 597,025 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 13 | 25 | 55 | 65 | 143 | 167 | 275 | 325 | 715 | 835 | 1,837 | 2,171 | 3,575 | 4,175 | 9,185 | 10,855 | 23,881 | 45,925 | 54,275 | 119,405 | 597,025 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -13 | -25 | -55 | -65 | -143 | -167 | -275 | -325 | -715 | -835 | -1,837 | -2,171 | -3,575 | -4,175 | -9,185 | -10,855 | -23,881 | -45,925 | -54,275 | -119,405 | -597,025 |
