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 949,949, 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 | 949,949 | |
| -1 | -949,949 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 949,949.
Example:
1 x 949,949 = 949,949
and
-1 x -949,949 = 949,949
Notice both answers equal 949,949
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 949,949 and divide it by 2:
949,949 ÷ 2 = 474,974.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 474,974.5 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 | 949,949 | |
| -1 | -949,949 |
Now, we try dividing 949,949 by 3:
949,949 ÷ 3 = 316,649.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 316,649.6667 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 | 949,949 | |
| -1 | -949,949 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
949,949 ÷ 4 = 237,487.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 237,487.25 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 | 949,949 | |
| -1 | 949,949 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 13 | 73 | 77 | 91 | 143 | 169 | 511 | 803 | 949 | 1,001 | 1,183 | 1,859 | 5,621 | 6,643 | 10,439 | 12,337 | 13,013 | 73,073 | 86,359 | 135,707 | 949,949 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -13 | -73 | -77 | -91 | -143 | -169 | -511 | -803 | -949 | -1,001 | -1,183 | -1,859 | -5,621 | -6,643 | -10,439 | -12,337 | -13,013 | -73,073 | -86,359 | -135,707 | -949,949 |
