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 295,925, 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 | 295,925 | |
| -1 | -295,925 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 295,925.
Example:
1 x 295,925 = 295,925
and
-1 x -295,925 = 295,925
Notice both answers equal 295,925
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 295,925 and divide it by 2:
295,925 ÷ 2 = 147,962.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 147,962.5 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 | 295,925 | |
| -1 | -295,925 |
Now, we try dividing 295,925 by 3:
295,925 ÷ 3 = 98,641.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 98,641.6667 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 | 295,925 | |
| -1 | -295,925 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
295,925 ÷ 4 = 73,981.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 73,981.25 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 | 295,925 | |
| -1 | 295,925 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 19 | 25 | 35 | 89 | 95 | 133 | 175 | 445 | 475 | 623 | 665 | 1,691 | 2,225 | 3,115 | 3,325 | 8,455 | 11,837 | 15,575 | 42,275 | 59,185 | 295,925 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -19 | -25 | -35 | -89 | -95 | -133 | -175 | -445 | -475 | -623 | -665 | -1,691 | -2,225 | -3,115 | -3,325 | -8,455 | -11,837 | -15,575 | -42,275 | -59,185 | -295,925 |
