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 103,554,055, 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 | 103,554,055 | |
| -1 | -103,554,055 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 103,554,055.
Example:
1 x 103,554,055 = 103,554,055
and
-1 x -103,554,055 = 103,554,055
Notice both answers equal 103,554,055
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 103,554,055 and divide it by 2:
103,554,055 ÷ 2 = 51,777,027.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 51,777,027.5 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 | 103,554,055 | |
| -1 | -103,554,055 |
Now, we try dividing 103,554,055 by 3:
103,554,055 ÷ 3 = 34,518,018.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,518,018.3333 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 | 103,554,055 | |
| -1 | -103,554,055 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
103,554,055 ÷ 4 = 25,888,513.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,888,513.75 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 | 103,554,055 | |
| -1 | 103,554,055 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 17 | 55 | 85 | 187 | 935 | 110,753 | 553,765 | 1,218,283 | 1,882,801 | 6,091,415 | 9,414,005 | 20,710,811 | 103,554,055 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -17 | -55 | -85 | -187 | -935 | -110,753 | -553,765 | -1,218,283 | -1,882,801 | -6,091,415 | -9,414,005 | -20,710,811 | -103,554,055 |
