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 959,975, 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 | 959,975 | |
| -1 | -959,975 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 959,975.
Example:
1 x 959,975 = 959,975
and
-1 x -959,975 = 959,975
Notice both answers equal 959,975
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 959,975 and divide it by 2:
959,975 ÷ 2 = 479,987.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 479,987.5 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 | 959,975 | |
| -1 | -959,975 |
Now, we try dividing 959,975 by 3:
959,975 ÷ 3 = 319,991.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 319,991.6667 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 | 959,975 | |
| -1 | -959,975 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
959,975 ÷ 4 = 239,993.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 239,993.75 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 | 959,975 | |
| -1 | 959,975 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 25 | 43 | 47 | 95 | 215 | 235 | 475 | 817 | 893 | 1,075 | 1,175 | 2,021 | 4,085 | 4,465 | 10,105 | 20,425 | 22,325 | 38,399 | 50,525 | 191,995 | 959,975 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -25 | -43 | -47 | -95 | -215 | -235 | -475 | -817 | -893 | -1,075 | -1,175 | -2,021 | -4,085 | -4,465 | -10,105 | -20,425 | -22,325 | -38,399 | -50,525 | -191,995 | -959,975 |
