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 384,175, 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 | 384,175 | |
| -1 | -384,175 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 384,175.
Example:
1 x 384,175 = 384,175
and
-1 x -384,175 = 384,175
Notice both answers equal 384,175
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 384,175 and divide it by 2:
384,175 ÷ 2 = 192,087.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 192,087.5 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 | 384,175 | |
| -1 | -384,175 |
Now, we try dividing 384,175 by 3:
384,175 ÷ 3 = 128,058.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 128,058.3333 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 | 384,175 | |
| -1 | -384,175 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
384,175 ÷ 4 = 96,043.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 96,043.75 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 | 384,175 | |
| -1 | 384,175 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 121 | 127 | 275 | 605 | 635 | 1,397 | 3,025 | 3,175 | 6,985 | 15,367 | 34,925 | 76,835 | 384,175 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -121 | -127 | -275 | -605 | -635 | -1,397 | -3,025 | -3,175 | -6,985 | -15,367 | -34,925 | -76,835 | -384,175 |
