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 315,875, 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 | 315,875 | |
| -1 | -315,875 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 315,875.
Example:
1 x 315,875 = 315,875
and
-1 x -315,875 = 315,875
Notice both answers equal 315,875
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 315,875 and divide it by 2:
315,875 ÷ 2 = 157,937.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 157,937.5 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 | 315,875 | |
| -1 | -315,875 |
Now, we try dividing 315,875 by 3:
315,875 ÷ 3 = 105,291.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 105,291.6667 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 | 315,875 | |
| -1 | -315,875 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
315,875 ÷ 4 = 78,968.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 78,968.75 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 | 315,875 | |
| -1 | 315,875 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 19 | 25 | 35 | 95 | 125 | 133 | 175 | 361 | 475 | 665 | 875 | 1,805 | 2,375 | 2,527 | 3,325 | 9,025 | 12,635 | 16,625 | 45,125 | 63,175 | 315,875 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -19 | -25 | -35 | -95 | -125 | -133 | -175 | -361 | -475 | -665 | -875 | -1,805 | -2,375 | -2,527 | -3,325 | -9,025 | -12,635 | -16,625 | -45,125 | -63,175 | -315,875 |
