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 889,865, 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 | 889,865 | |
| -1 | -889,865 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 889,865.
Example:
1 x 889,865 = 889,865
and
-1 x -889,865 = 889,865
Notice both answers equal 889,865
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 889,865 and divide it by 2:
889,865 ÷ 2 = 444,932.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 444,932.5 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 | 889,865 | |
| -1 | -889,865 |
Now, we try dividing 889,865 by 3:
889,865 ÷ 3 = 296,621.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 296,621.6667 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 | 889,865 | |
| -1 | -889,865 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
889,865 ÷ 4 = 222,466.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 222,466.25 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 | 889,865 | |
| -1 | 889,865 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 19 | 29 | 85 | 95 | 145 | 323 | 361 | 493 | 551 | 1,615 | 1,805 | 2,465 | 2,755 | 6,137 | 9,367 | 10,469 | 30,685 | 46,835 | 52,345 | 177,973 | 889,865 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -19 | -29 | -85 | -95 | -145 | -323 | -361 | -493 | -551 | -1,615 | -1,805 | -2,465 | -2,755 | -6,137 | -9,367 | -10,469 | -30,685 | -46,835 | -52,345 | -177,973 | -889,865 |
