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 156,695, 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 | 156,695 | |
| -1 | -156,695 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 156,695.
Example:
1 x 156,695 = 156,695
and
-1 x -156,695 = 156,695
Notice both answers equal 156,695
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 156,695 and divide it by 2:
156,695 ÷ 2 = 78,347.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 78,347.5 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 | 156,695 | |
| -1 | -156,695 |
Now, we try dividing 156,695 by 3:
156,695 ÷ 3 = 52,231.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 52,231.6667 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 | 156,695 | |
| -1 | -156,695 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
156,695 ÷ 4 = 39,173.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 39,173.75 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 | 156,695 | |
| -1 | 156,695 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 35 | 37 | 55 | 77 | 121 | 185 | 259 | 385 | 407 | 605 | 847 | 1,295 | 2,035 | 2,849 | 4,235 | 4,477 | 14,245 | 22,385 | 31,339 | 156,695 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -11 | -35 | -37 | -55 | -77 | -121 | -185 | -259 | -385 | -407 | -605 | -847 | -1,295 | -2,035 | -2,849 | -4,235 | -4,477 | -14,245 | -22,385 | -31,339 | -156,695 |
