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 716,975, 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 | 716,975 | |
| -1 | -716,975 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 716,975.
Example:
1 x 716,975 = 716,975
and
-1 x -716,975 = 716,975
Notice both answers equal 716,975
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 716,975 and divide it by 2:
716,975 ÷ 2 = 358,487.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 358,487.5 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 | 716,975 | |
| -1 | -716,975 |
Now, we try dividing 716,975 by 3:
716,975 ÷ 3 = 238,991.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 238,991.6667 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 | 716,975 | |
| -1 | -716,975 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
716,975 ÷ 4 = 179,243.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 179,243.75 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 | 716,975 | |
| -1 | 716,975 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 25 | 35 | 85 | 119 | 175 | 241 | 425 | 595 | 1,205 | 1,687 | 2,975 | 4,097 | 6,025 | 8,435 | 20,485 | 28,679 | 42,175 | 102,425 | 143,395 | 716,975 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -25 | -35 | -85 | -119 | -175 | -241 | -425 | -595 | -1,205 | -1,687 | -2,975 | -4,097 | -6,025 | -8,435 | -20,485 | -28,679 | -42,175 | -102,425 | -143,395 | -716,975 |
