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 738,395, 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 | 738,395 | |
| -1 | -738,395 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 738,395.
Example:
1 x 738,395 = 738,395
and
-1 x -738,395 = 738,395
Notice both answers equal 738,395
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 738,395 and divide it by 2:
738,395 ÷ 2 = 369,197.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 369,197.5 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 | 738,395 | |
| -1 | -738,395 |
Now, we try dividing 738,395 by 3:
738,395 ÷ 3 = 246,131.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 246,131.6667 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 | 738,395 | |
| -1 | -738,395 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
738,395 ÷ 4 = 184,598.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 184,598.75 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 | 738,395 | |
| -1 | 738,395 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 35 | 73 | 85 | 119 | 289 | 365 | 511 | 595 | 1,241 | 1,445 | 2,023 | 2,555 | 6,205 | 8,687 | 10,115 | 21,097 | 43,435 | 105,485 | 147,679 | 738,395 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -35 | -73 | -85 | -119 | -289 | -365 | -511 | -595 | -1,241 | -1,445 | -2,023 | -2,555 | -6,205 | -8,687 | -10,115 | -21,097 | -43,435 | -105,485 | -147,679 | -738,395 |
