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 93,925, 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 | 93,925 | |
| -1 | -93,925 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 93,925.
Example:
1 x 93,925 = 93,925
and
-1 x -93,925 = 93,925
Notice both answers equal 93,925
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 93,925 and divide it by 2:
93,925 ÷ 2 = 46,962.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 46,962.5 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 | 93,925 | |
| -1 | -93,925 |
Now, we try dividing 93,925 by 3:
93,925 ÷ 3 = 31,308.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 31,308.3333 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 | 93,925 | |
| -1 | -93,925 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
93,925 ÷ 4 = 23,481.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 23,481.25 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 | 93,925 | |
| -1 | 93,925 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 17 | 25 | 65 | 85 | 221 | 289 | 325 | 425 | 1,105 | 1,445 | 3,757 | 5,525 | 7,225 | 18,785 | 93,925 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -17 | -25 | -65 | -85 | -221 | -289 | -325 | -425 | -1,105 | -1,445 | -3,757 | -5,525 | -7,225 | -18,785 | -93,925 |
