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 886,325, 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 | 886,325 | |
| -1 | -886,325 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 886,325.
Example:
1 x 886,325 = 886,325
and
-1 x -886,325 = 886,325
Notice both answers equal 886,325
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 886,325 and divide it by 2:
886,325 ÷ 2 = 443,162.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 443,162.5 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 | 886,325 | |
| -1 | -886,325 |
Now, we try dividing 886,325 by 3:
886,325 ÷ 3 = 295,441.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 295,441.6667 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 | 886,325 | |
| -1 | -886,325 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
886,325 ÷ 4 = 221,581.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 221,581.25 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 | 886,325 | |
| -1 | 886,325 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 121 | 275 | 293 | 605 | 1,465 | 3,025 | 3,223 | 7,325 | 16,115 | 35,453 | 80,575 | 177,265 | 886,325 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -121 | -275 | -293 | -605 | -1,465 | -3,025 | -3,223 | -7,325 | -16,115 | -35,453 | -80,575 | -177,265 | -886,325 |
