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 104,975, 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 | 104,975 | |
| -1 | -104,975 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 104,975.
Example:
1 x 104,975 = 104,975
and
-1 x -104,975 = 104,975
Notice both answers equal 104,975
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 104,975 and divide it by 2:
104,975 ÷ 2 = 52,487.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 52,487.5 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 | 104,975 | |
| -1 | -104,975 |
Now, we try dividing 104,975 by 3:
104,975 ÷ 3 = 34,991.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,991.6667 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 | 104,975 | |
| -1 | -104,975 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
104,975 ÷ 4 = 26,243.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,243.75 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 | 104,975 | |
| -1 | 104,975 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 17 | 19 | 25 | 65 | 85 | 95 | 221 | 247 | 323 | 325 | 425 | 475 | 1,105 | 1,235 | 1,615 | 4,199 | 5,525 | 6,175 | 8,075 | 20,995 | 104,975 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -17 | -19 | -25 | -65 | -85 | -95 | -221 | -247 | -323 | -325 | -425 | -475 | -1,105 | -1,235 | -1,615 | -4,199 | -5,525 | -6,175 | -8,075 | -20,995 | -104,975 |
