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 941,095, 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 | 941,095 | |
| -1 | -941,095 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 941,095.
Example:
1 x 941,095 = 941,095
and
-1 x -941,095 = 941,095
Notice both answers equal 941,095
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 941,095 and divide it by 2:
941,095 ÷ 2 = 470,547.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 470,547.5 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 | 941,095 | |
| -1 | -941,095 |
Now, we try dividing 941,095 by 3:
941,095 ÷ 3 = 313,698.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 313,698.3333 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 | 941,095 | |
| -1 | -941,095 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
941,095 ÷ 4 = 235,273.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 235,273.75 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 | 941,095 | |
| -1 | 941,095 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 185 | 5,087 | 25,435 | 188,219 | 941,095 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -185 | -5,087 | -25,435 | -188,219 | -941,095 |
