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 732,725, 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 | 732,725 | |
| -1 | -732,725 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 732,725.
Example:
1 x 732,725 = 732,725
and
-1 x -732,725 = 732,725
Notice both answers equal 732,725
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 732,725 and divide it by 2:
732,725 ÷ 2 = 366,362.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 366,362.5 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 | 732,725 | |
| -1 | -732,725 |
Now, we try dividing 732,725 by 3:
732,725 ÷ 3 = 244,241.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 244,241.6667 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 | 732,725 | |
| -1 | -732,725 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
732,725 ÷ 4 = 183,181.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 183,181.25 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 | 732,725 | |
| -1 | 732,725 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 53 | 79 | 175 | 265 | 371 | 395 | 553 | 1,325 | 1,855 | 1,975 | 2,765 | 4,187 | 9,275 | 13,825 | 20,935 | 29,309 | 104,675 | 146,545 | 732,725 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -53 | -79 | -175 | -265 | -371 | -395 | -553 | -1,325 | -1,855 | -1,975 | -2,765 | -4,187 | -9,275 | -13,825 | -20,935 | -29,309 | -104,675 | -146,545 | -732,725 |
