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 852,635, 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 | 852,635 | |
| -1 | -852,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 852,635.
Example:
1 x 852,635 = 852,635
and
-1 x -852,635 = 852,635
Notice both answers equal 852,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 852,635 and divide it by 2:
852,635 ÷ 2 = 426,317.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 426,317.5 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 | 852,635 | |
| -1 | -852,635 |
Now, we try dividing 852,635 by 3:
852,635 ÷ 3 = 284,211.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 284,211.6667 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 | 852,635 | |
| -1 | -852,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
852,635 ÷ 4 = 213,158.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 213,158.75 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 | 852,635 | |
| -1 | 852,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 35 | 85 | 119 | 595 | 1,433 | 7,165 | 10,031 | 24,361 | 50,155 | 121,805 | 170,527 | 852,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -35 | -85 | -119 | -595 | -1,433 | -7,165 | -10,031 | -24,361 | -50,155 | -121,805 | -170,527 | -852,635 |
