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 682,188, 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 | 682,188 | |
| -1 | -682,188 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 682,188.
Example:
1 x 682,188 = 682,188
and
-1 x -682,188 = 682,188
Notice both answers equal 682,188
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 682,188 and divide it by 2:
682,188 ÷ 2 = 341,094
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 341,094 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 2 | 341,094 | 682,188 | |
| -1 | -2 | -341,094 | -682,188 |
Now, we try dividing 682,188 by 3:
682,188 ÷ 3 = 227,396
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 227,396 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 227,396 | 341,094 | 682,188 | |
| -1 | -2 | -3 | -227,396 | -341,094 | -682,188 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
682,188 ÷ 4 = 170,547
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 170,547 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 170,547 | 227,396 | 341,094 | 682,188 | |
| -1 | -2 | -3 | -4 | -170,547 | -227,396 | -341,094 | 682,188 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 6 | 12 | 13 | 26 | 39 | 52 | 78 | 156 | 4,373 | 8,746 | 13,119 | 17,492 | 26,238 | 52,476 | 56,849 | 113,698 | 170,547 | 227,396 | 341,094 | 682,188 |
| -1 | -2 | -3 | -4 | -6 | -12 | -13 | -26 | -39 | -52 | -78 | -156 | -4,373 | -8,746 | -13,119 | -17,492 | -26,238 | -52,476 | -56,849 | -113,698 | -170,547 | -227,396 | -341,094 | -682,188 |
