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 103,324,235, 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 | 103,324,235 | |
| -1 | -103,324,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 103,324,235.
Example:
1 x 103,324,235 = 103,324,235
and
-1 x -103,324,235 = 103,324,235
Notice both answers equal 103,324,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 103,324,235 and divide it by 2:
103,324,235 ÷ 2 = 51,662,117.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 51,662,117.5 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 | 103,324,235 | |
| -1 | -103,324,235 |
Now, we try dividing 103,324,235 by 3:
103,324,235 ÷ 3 = 34,441,411.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,441,411.6667 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 | 103,324,235 | |
| -1 | -103,324,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
103,324,235 ÷ 4 = 25,831,058.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,831,058.75 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 | 103,324,235 | |
| -1 | 103,324,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 389 | 1,945 | 2,723 | 7,589 | 13,615 | 37,945 | 53,123 | 265,615 | 2,952,121 | 14,760,605 | 20,664,847 | 103,324,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -389 | -1,945 | -2,723 | -7,589 | -13,615 | -37,945 | -53,123 | -265,615 | -2,952,121 | -14,760,605 | -20,664,847 | -103,324,235 |
