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 737,275, 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 | 737,275 | |
| -1 | -737,275 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 737,275.
Example:
1 x 737,275 = 737,275
and
-1 x -737,275 = 737,275
Notice both answers equal 737,275
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 737,275 and divide it by 2:
737,275 ÷ 2 = 368,637.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 368,637.5 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 | 737,275 | |
| -1 | -737,275 |
Now, we try dividing 737,275 by 3:
737,275 ÷ 3 = 245,758.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 245,758.3333 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 | 737,275 | |
| -1 | -737,275 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
737,275 ÷ 4 = 184,318.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 184,318.75 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 | 737,275 | |
| -1 | 737,275 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 25 | 35 | 55 | 77 | 175 | 275 | 383 | 385 | 1,915 | 1,925 | 2,681 | 4,213 | 9,575 | 13,405 | 21,065 | 29,491 | 67,025 | 105,325 | 147,455 | 737,275 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -11 | -25 | -35 | -55 | -77 | -175 | -275 | -383 | -385 | -1,915 | -1,925 | -2,681 | -4,213 | -9,575 | -13,405 | -21,065 | -29,491 | -67,025 | -105,325 | -147,455 | -737,275 |
