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 696,815, 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 | 696,815 | |
| -1 | -696,815 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 696,815.
Example:
1 x 696,815 = 696,815
and
-1 x -696,815 = 696,815
Notice both answers equal 696,815
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 696,815 and divide it by 2:
696,815 ÷ 2 = 348,407.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 348,407.5 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 | 696,815 | |
| -1 | -696,815 |
Now, we try dividing 696,815 by 3:
696,815 ÷ 3 = 232,271.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 232,271.6667 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 | 696,815 | |
| -1 | -696,815 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
696,815 ÷ 4 = 174,203.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 174,203.75 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 | 696,815 | |
| -1 | 696,815 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 43 | 215 | 301 | 463 | 1,505 | 2,315 | 3,241 | 16,205 | 19,909 | 99,545 | 139,363 | 696,815 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -43 | -215 | -301 | -463 | -1,505 | -2,315 | -3,241 | -16,205 | -19,909 | -99,545 | -139,363 | -696,815 |
