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 237,475, 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 | 237,475 | |
| -1 | -237,475 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 237,475.
Example:
1 x 237,475 = 237,475
and
-1 x -237,475 = 237,475
Notice both answers equal 237,475
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 237,475 and divide it by 2:
237,475 ÷ 2 = 118,737.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 118,737.5 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 | 237,475 | |
| -1 | -237,475 |
Now, we try dividing 237,475 by 3:
237,475 ÷ 3 = 79,158.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 79,158.3333 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 | 237,475 | |
| -1 | -237,475 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
237,475 ÷ 4 = 59,368.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 59,368.75 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 | 237,475 | |
| -1 | 237,475 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 23 | 25 | 35 | 59 | 115 | 161 | 175 | 295 | 413 | 575 | 805 | 1,357 | 1,475 | 2,065 | 4,025 | 6,785 | 9,499 | 10,325 | 33,925 | 47,495 | 237,475 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -23 | -25 | -35 | -59 | -115 | -161 | -175 | -295 | -413 | -575 | -805 | -1,357 | -1,475 | -2,065 | -4,025 | -6,785 | -9,499 | -10,325 | -33,925 | -47,495 | -237,475 |
