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 738,283, 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 | 738,283 | |
| -1 | -738,283 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 738,283.
Example:
1 x 738,283 = 738,283
and
-1 x -738,283 = 738,283
Notice both answers equal 738,283
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 738,283 and divide it by 2:
738,283 ÷ 2 = 369,141.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 369,141.5 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 | 738,283 | |
| -1 | -738,283 |
Now, we try dividing 738,283 by 3:
738,283 ÷ 3 = 246,094.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 246,094.3333 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 | 738,283 | |
| -1 | -738,283 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
738,283 ÷ 4 = 184,570.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 184,570.75 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 | 738,283 | |
| -1 | 738,283 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 19 | 49 | 61 | 91 | 133 | 247 | 427 | 637 | 793 | 931 | 1,159 | 1,729 | 2,989 | 5,551 | 8,113 | 12,103 | 15,067 | 38,857 | 56,791 | 105,469 | 738,283 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -19 | -49 | -61 | -91 | -133 | -247 | -427 | -637 | -793 | -931 | -1,159 | -1,729 | -2,989 | -5,551 | -8,113 | -12,103 | -15,067 | -38,857 | -56,791 | -105,469 | -738,283 |
