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 233,975, 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 | 233,975 | |
| -1 | -233,975 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 233,975.
Example:
1 x 233,975 = 233,975
and
-1 x -233,975 = 233,975
Notice both answers equal 233,975
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 233,975 and divide it by 2:
233,975 ÷ 2 = 116,987.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 116,987.5 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 | 233,975 | |
| -1 | -233,975 |
Now, we try dividing 233,975 by 3:
233,975 ÷ 3 = 77,991.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 77,991.6667 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 | 233,975 | |
| -1 | -233,975 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
233,975 ÷ 4 = 58,493.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 58,493.75 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 | 233,975 | |
| -1 | 233,975 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 49 | 175 | 191 | 245 | 955 | 1,225 | 1,337 | 4,775 | 6,685 | 9,359 | 33,425 | 46,795 | 233,975 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -49 | -175 | -191 | -245 | -955 | -1,225 | -1,337 | -4,775 | -6,685 | -9,359 | -33,425 | -46,795 | -233,975 |
