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 923,525, 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 | 923,525 | |
| -1 | -923,525 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 923,525.
Example:
1 x 923,525 = 923,525
and
-1 x -923,525 = 923,525
Notice both answers equal 923,525
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 923,525 and divide it by 2:
923,525 ÷ 2 = 461,762.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 461,762.5 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 | 923,525 | |
| -1 | -923,525 |
Now, we try dividing 923,525 by 3:
923,525 ÷ 3 = 307,841.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 307,841.6667 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 | 923,525 | |
| -1 | -923,525 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
923,525 ÷ 4 = 230,881.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 230,881.25 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 | 923,525 | |
| -1 | 923,525 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 25 | 41 | 53 | 85 | 205 | 265 | 425 | 697 | 901 | 1,025 | 1,325 | 2,173 | 3,485 | 4,505 | 10,865 | 17,425 | 22,525 | 36,941 | 54,325 | 184,705 | 923,525 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -25 | -41 | -53 | -85 | -205 | -265 | -425 | -697 | -901 | -1,025 | -1,325 | -2,173 | -3,485 | -4,505 | -10,865 | -17,425 | -22,525 | -36,941 | -54,325 | -184,705 | -923,525 |
