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 732,935, 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 | 732,935 | |
| -1 | -732,935 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 732,935.
Example:
1 x 732,935 = 732,935
and
-1 x -732,935 = 732,935
Notice both answers equal 732,935
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 732,935 and divide it by 2:
732,935 ÷ 2 = 366,467.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 366,467.5 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 | 732,935 | |
| -1 | -732,935 |
Now, we try dividing 732,935 by 3:
732,935 ÷ 3 = 244,311.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 244,311.6667 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 | 732,935 | |
| -1 | -732,935 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
732,935 ÷ 4 = 183,233.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 183,233.75 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 | 732,935 | |
| -1 | 732,935 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 43 | 215 | 301 | 487 | 1,505 | 2,435 | 3,409 | 17,045 | 20,941 | 104,705 | 146,587 | 732,935 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -43 | -215 | -301 | -487 | -1,505 | -2,435 | -3,409 | -17,045 | -20,941 | -104,705 | -146,587 | -732,935 |
