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 96,775, 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 | 96,775 | |
| -1 | -96,775 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 96,775.
Example:
1 x 96,775 = 96,775
and
-1 x -96,775 = 96,775
Notice both answers equal 96,775
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 96,775 and divide it by 2:
96,775 ÷ 2 = 48,387.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 48,387.5 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 | 96,775 | |
| -1 | -96,775 |
Now, we try dividing 96,775 by 3:
96,775 ÷ 3 = 32,258.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 32,258.3333 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 | 96,775 | |
| -1 | -96,775 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
96,775 ÷ 4 = 24,193.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 24,193.75 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 | 96,775 | |
| -1 | 96,775 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 49 | 79 | 175 | 245 | 395 | 553 | 1,225 | 1,975 | 2,765 | 3,871 | 13,825 | 19,355 | 96,775 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -49 | -79 | -175 | -245 | -395 | -553 | -1,225 | -1,975 | -2,765 | -3,871 | -13,825 | -19,355 | -96,775 |
