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 175,525, 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 | 175,525 | |
| -1 | -175,525 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 175,525.
Example:
1 x 175,525 = 175,525
and
-1 x -175,525 = 175,525
Notice both answers equal 175,525
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 175,525 and divide it by 2:
175,525 ÷ 2 = 87,762.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 87,762.5 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 | 175,525 | |
| -1 | -175,525 |
Now, we try dividing 175,525 by 3:
175,525 ÷ 3 = 58,508.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 58,508.3333 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 | 175,525 | |
| -1 | -175,525 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
175,525 ÷ 4 = 43,881.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 43,881.25 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 | 175,525 | |
| -1 | 175,525 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 25 | 35 | 59 | 85 | 119 | 175 | 295 | 413 | 425 | 595 | 1,003 | 1,475 | 2,065 | 2,975 | 5,015 | 7,021 | 10,325 | 25,075 | 35,105 | 175,525 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -25 | -35 | -59 | -85 | -119 | -175 | -295 | -413 | -425 | -595 | -1,003 | -1,475 | -2,065 | -2,975 | -5,015 | -7,021 | -10,325 | -25,075 | -35,105 | -175,525 |
