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 263,375, 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 | 263,375 | |
| -1 | -263,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 263,375.
Example:
1 x 263,375 = 263,375
and
-1 x -263,375 = 263,375
Notice both answers equal 263,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 263,375 and divide it by 2:
263,375 ÷ 2 = 131,687.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 131,687.5 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 | 263,375 | |
| -1 | -263,375 |
Now, we try dividing 263,375 by 3:
263,375 ÷ 3 = 87,791.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 87,791.6667 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 | 263,375 | |
| -1 | -263,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
263,375 ÷ 4 = 65,843.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 65,843.75 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 | 263,375 | |
| -1 | 263,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 43 | 49 | 125 | 175 | 215 | 245 | 301 | 875 | 1,075 | 1,225 | 1,505 | 2,107 | 5,375 | 6,125 | 7,525 | 10,535 | 37,625 | 52,675 | 263,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -43 | -49 | -125 | -175 | -215 | -245 | -301 | -875 | -1,075 | -1,225 | -1,505 | -2,107 | -5,375 | -6,125 | -7,525 | -10,535 | -37,625 | -52,675 | -263,375 |
