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 187,915, 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 | 187,915 | |
| -1 | -187,915 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 187,915.
Example:
1 x 187,915 = 187,915
and
-1 x -187,915 = 187,915
Notice both answers equal 187,915
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 187,915 and divide it by 2:
187,915 ÷ 2 = 93,957.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 93,957.5 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 | 187,915 | |
| -1 | -187,915 |
Now, we try dividing 187,915 by 3:
187,915 ÷ 3 = 62,638.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 62,638.3333 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 | 187,915 | |
| -1 | -187,915 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
187,915 ÷ 4 = 46,978.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 46,978.75 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 | 187,915 | |
| -1 | 187,915 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 13 | 35 | 49 | 59 | 65 | 91 | 245 | 295 | 413 | 455 | 637 | 767 | 2,065 | 2,891 | 3,185 | 3,835 | 5,369 | 14,455 | 26,845 | 37,583 | 187,915 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -13 | -35 | -49 | -59 | -65 | -91 | -245 | -295 | -413 | -455 | -637 | -767 | -2,065 | -2,891 | -3,185 | -3,835 | -5,369 | -14,455 | -26,845 | -37,583 | -187,915 |
