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 59,675, 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 | 59,675 | |
| -1 | -59,675 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 59,675.
Example:
1 x 59,675 = 59,675
and
-1 x -59,675 = 59,675
Notice both answers equal 59,675
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 59,675 and divide it by 2:
59,675 ÷ 2 = 29,837.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,837.5 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 | 59,675 | |
| -1 | -59,675 |
Now, we try dividing 59,675 by 3:
59,675 ÷ 3 = 19,891.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,891.6667 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 | 59,675 | |
| -1 | -59,675 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
59,675 ÷ 4 = 14,918.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,918.75 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 | 59,675 | |
| -1 | 59,675 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 25 | 31 | 35 | 55 | 77 | 155 | 175 | 217 | 275 | 341 | 385 | 775 | 1,085 | 1,705 | 1,925 | 2,387 | 5,425 | 8,525 | 11,935 | 59,675 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -11 | -25 | -31 | -35 | -55 | -77 | -155 | -175 | -217 | -275 | -341 | -385 | -775 | -1,085 | -1,705 | -1,925 | -2,387 | -5,425 | -8,525 | -11,935 | -59,675 |
