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 854,425, 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 | 854,425 | |
| -1 | -854,425 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 854,425.
Example:
1 x 854,425 = 854,425
and
-1 x -854,425 = 854,425
Notice both answers equal 854,425
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 854,425 and divide it by 2:
854,425 ÷ 2 = 427,212.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 427,212.5 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 | 854,425 | |
| -1 | -854,425 |
Now, we try dividing 854,425 by 3:
854,425 ÷ 3 = 284,808.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 284,808.3333 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 | 854,425 | |
| -1 | -854,425 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
854,425 ÷ 4 = 213,606.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 213,606.25 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 | 854,425 | |
| -1 | 854,425 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 13 | 25 | 55 | 65 | 143 | 239 | 275 | 325 | 715 | 1,195 | 2,629 | 3,107 | 3,575 | 5,975 | 13,145 | 15,535 | 34,177 | 65,725 | 77,675 | 170,885 | 854,425 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -13 | -25 | -55 | -65 | -143 | -239 | -275 | -325 | -715 | -1,195 | -2,629 | -3,107 | -3,575 | -5,975 | -13,145 | -15,535 | -34,177 | -65,725 | -77,675 | -170,885 | -854,425 |
