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 743,869, 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 | 743,869 | |
| -1 | -743,869 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 743,869.
Example:
1 x 743,869 = 743,869
and
-1 x -743,869 = 743,869
Notice both answers equal 743,869
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 743,869 and divide it by 2:
743,869 ÷ 2 = 371,934.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 371,934.5 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 | 743,869 | |
| -1 | -743,869 |
Now, we try dividing 743,869 by 3:
743,869 ÷ 3 = 247,956.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 247,956.3333 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 | 743,869 | |
| -1 | -743,869 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
743,869 ÷ 4 = 185,967.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 185,967.25 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 | 743,869 | |
| -1 | 743,869 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 19 | 47 | 49 | 119 | 133 | 323 | 329 | 799 | 833 | 893 | 931 | 2,261 | 2,303 | 5,593 | 6,251 | 15,181 | 15,827 | 39,151 | 43,757 | 106,267 | 743,869 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -19 | -47 | -49 | -119 | -133 | -323 | -329 | -799 | -833 | -893 | -931 | -2,261 | -2,303 | -5,593 | -6,251 | -15,181 | -15,827 | -39,151 | -43,757 | -106,267 | -743,869 |
