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 734,615, 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 | 734,615 | |
| -1 | -734,615 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 734,615.
Example:
1 x 734,615 = 734,615
and
-1 x -734,615 = 734,615
Notice both answers equal 734,615
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 734,615 and divide it by 2:
734,615 ÷ 2 = 367,307.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 367,307.5 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 | 734,615 | |
| -1 | -734,615 |
Now, we try dividing 734,615 by 3:
734,615 ÷ 3 = 244,871.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 244,871.6667 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 | 734,615 | |
| -1 | -734,615 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
734,615 ÷ 4 = 183,653.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 183,653.75 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 | 734,615 | |
| -1 | 734,615 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 139 | 151 | 695 | 755 | 973 | 1,057 | 4,865 | 5,285 | 20,989 | 104,945 | 146,923 | 734,615 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -139 | -151 | -695 | -755 | -973 | -1,057 | -4,865 | -5,285 | -20,989 | -104,945 | -146,923 | -734,615 |
