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 966,511, 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 | 966,511 | |
| -1 | -966,511 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 966,511.
Example:
1 x 966,511 = 966,511
and
-1 x -966,511 = 966,511
Notice both answers equal 966,511
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 966,511 and divide it by 2:
966,511 ÷ 2 = 483,255.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 483,255.5 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 | 966,511 | |
| -1 | -966,511 |
Now, we try dividing 966,511 by 3:
966,511 ÷ 3 = 322,170.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 322,170.3333 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 | 966,511 | |
| -1 | -966,511 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
966,511 ÷ 4 = 241,627.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 241,627.75 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 | 966,511 | |
| -1 | 966,511 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 19 | 43 | 91 | 133 | 169 | 247 | 301 | 559 | 817 | 1,183 | 1,729 | 3,211 | 3,913 | 5,719 | 7,267 | 10,621 | 22,477 | 50,869 | 74,347 | 138,073 | 966,511 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -19 | -43 | -91 | -133 | -169 | -247 | -301 | -559 | -817 | -1,183 | -1,729 | -3,211 | -3,913 | -5,719 | -7,267 | -10,621 | -22,477 | -50,869 | -74,347 | -138,073 | -966,511 |
