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 factors of larger numbers. To find the factors of the number 375,801, it is easiest to start from the outside in. Here's what we mean:
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.
| 1 | 375,801 |
Next, we take the number 375,801 and divide it by 2.
In this case, 375,801 ÷ 2 = 187,900.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 187,900.5 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.
| 1 | 375,801 |
Now, we try dividing 375,801 by 3.
375,801 ÷ 3 = 125,267
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 125,267 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 3 | 125,267 | 375,801 |
Let's try dividing by 4.
375,801 ÷ 4 = 93,950.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 93,950.25 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 3 | 125,267 | 375,801 |
We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 375,801 ÷ 5 is a whole number, then 5 and your quotient are factors of the number.
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.
What you will end up with is this table:
| 1 | 3 | 19 | 57 | 347 | 361 | 1,041 | 1,083 | 6,593 | 19,779 | 125,267 | 375,801 |
All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 375,801.
Finally, for your reference, here are all of the divisor combinations of the number 375,801:
1 x 375801
3 x 125267
19 x 19779
57 x 6593
347 x 1083
361 x 1041
