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 858,925, 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 | 858,925 | |
| -1 | -858,925 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 858,925.
Example:
1 x 858,925 = 858,925
and
-1 x -858,925 = 858,925
Notice both answers equal 858,925
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 858,925 and divide it by 2:
858,925 ÷ 2 = 429,462.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 429,462.5 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 | 858,925 | |
| -1 | -858,925 |
Now, we try dividing 858,925 by 3:
858,925 ÷ 3 = 286,308.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 286,308.3333 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 | 858,925 | |
| -1 | -858,925 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
858,925 ÷ 4 = 214,731.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 214,731.25 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 | 858,925 | |
| -1 | 858,925 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 25 | 43 | 47 | 85 | 215 | 235 | 425 | 731 | 799 | 1,075 | 1,175 | 2,021 | 3,655 | 3,995 | 10,105 | 18,275 | 19,975 | 34,357 | 50,525 | 171,785 | 858,925 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -25 | -43 | -47 | -85 | -215 | -235 | -425 | -731 | -799 | -1,075 | -1,175 | -2,021 | -3,655 | -3,995 | -10,105 | -18,275 | -19,975 | -34,357 | -50,525 | -171,785 | -858,925 |
