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 846,475, 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 | 846,475 | |
| -1 | -846,475 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 846,475.
Example:
1 x 846,475 = 846,475
and
-1 x -846,475 = 846,475
Notice both answers equal 846,475
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 846,475 and divide it by 2:
846,475 ÷ 2 = 423,237.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 423,237.5 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 | 846,475 | |
| -1 | -846,475 |
Now, we try dividing 846,475 by 3:
846,475 ÷ 3 = 282,158.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 282,158.3333 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 | 846,475 | |
| -1 | -846,475 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
846,475 ÷ 4 = 211,618.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 211,618.75 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 | 846,475 | |
| -1 | 846,475 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 49 | 175 | 245 | 691 | 1,225 | 3,455 | 4,837 | 17,275 | 24,185 | 33,859 | 120,925 | 169,295 | 846,475 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -49 | -175 | -245 | -691 | -1,225 | -3,455 | -4,837 | -17,275 | -24,185 | -33,859 | -120,925 | -169,295 | -846,475 |
