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 854,035, 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 | 854,035 | |
| -1 | -854,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 854,035.
Example:
1 x 854,035 = 854,035
and
-1 x -854,035 = 854,035
Notice both answers equal 854,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 854,035 and divide it by 2:
854,035 ÷ 2 = 427,017.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 427,017.5 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 | 854,035 | |
| -1 | -854,035 |
Now, we try dividing 854,035 by 3:
854,035 ÷ 3 = 284,678.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 284,678.3333 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 | 854,035 | |
| -1 | -854,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
854,035 ÷ 4 = 213,508.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 213,508.75 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 | 854,035 | |
| -1 | 854,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 13 | 35 | 65 | 91 | 455 | 1,877 | 9,385 | 13,139 | 24,401 | 65,695 | 122,005 | 170,807 | 854,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -13 | -35 | -65 | -91 | -455 | -1,877 | -9,385 | -13,139 | -24,401 | -65,695 | -122,005 | -170,807 | -854,035 |
