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 103,304,339, 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 | 103,304,339 | |
| -1 | -103,304,339 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 103,304,339.
Example:
1 x 103,304,339 = 103,304,339
and
-1 x -103,304,339 = 103,304,339
Notice both answers equal 103,304,339
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 103,304,339 and divide it by 2:
103,304,339 ÷ 2 = 51,652,169.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 51,652,169.5 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 | 103,304,339 | |
| -1 | -103,304,339 |
Now, we try dividing 103,304,339 by 3:
103,304,339 ÷ 3 = 34,434,779.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,434,779.6667 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 | 103,304,339 | |
| -1 | -103,304,339 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
103,304,339 ÷ 4 = 25,826,084.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,826,084.75 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 | 103,304,339 | |
| -1 | 103,304,339 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 59 | 269 | 283 | 1,357 | 6,187 | 6,509 | 15,871 | 16,697 | 76,127 | 365,033 | 384,031 | 1,750,921 | 4,491,493 | 103,304,339 |
| -1 | -23 | -59 | -269 | -283 | -1,357 | -6,187 | -6,509 | -15,871 | -16,697 | -76,127 | -365,033 | -384,031 | -1,750,921 | -4,491,493 | -103,304,339 |
