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 57,575, 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 | 57,575 | |
| -1 | -57,575 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 57,575.
Example:
1 x 57,575 = 57,575
and
-1 x -57,575 = 57,575
Notice both answers equal 57,575
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 57,575 and divide it by 2:
57,575 ÷ 2 = 28,787.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,787.5 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 | 57,575 | |
| -1 | -57,575 |
Now, we try dividing 57,575 by 3:
57,575 ÷ 3 = 19,191.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,191.6667 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 | 57,575 | |
| -1 | -57,575 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
57,575 ÷ 4 = 14,393.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,393.75 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 | 57,575 | |
| -1 | 57,575 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 47 | 49 | 175 | 235 | 245 | 329 | 1,175 | 1,225 | 1,645 | 2,303 | 8,225 | 11,515 | 57,575 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -47 | -49 | -175 | -235 | -245 | -329 | -1,175 | -1,225 | -1,645 | -2,303 | -8,225 | -11,515 | -57,575 |
