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 111,815, 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 | 111,815 | |
| -1 | -111,815 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 111,815.
Example:
1 x 111,815 = 111,815
and
-1 x -111,815 = 111,815
Notice both answers equal 111,815
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 111,815 and divide it by 2:
111,815 ÷ 2 = 55,907.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 55,907.5 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 | 111,815 | |
| -1 | -111,815 |
Now, we try dividing 111,815 by 3:
111,815 ÷ 3 = 37,271.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 37,271.6667 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 | 111,815 | |
| -1 | -111,815 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
111,815 ÷ 4 = 27,953.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 27,953.75 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 | 111,815 | |
| -1 | 111,815 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 19 | 55 | 95 | 107 | 209 | 535 | 1,045 | 1,177 | 2,033 | 5,885 | 10,165 | 22,363 | 111,815 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -19 | -55 | -95 | -107 | -209 | -535 | -1,045 | -1,177 | -2,033 | -5,885 | -10,165 | -22,363 | -111,815 |
