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 103,708,075, 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 | 103,708,075 | |
| -1 | -103,708,075 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 103,708,075.
Example:
1 x 103,708,075 = 103,708,075
and
-1 x -103,708,075 = 103,708,075
Notice both answers equal 103,708,075
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 103,708,075 and divide it by 2:
103,708,075 ÷ 2 = 51,854,037.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 51,854,037.5 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 | 103,708,075 | |
| -1 | -103,708,075 |
Now, we try dividing 103,708,075 by 3:
103,708,075 ÷ 3 = 34,569,358.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,569,358.3333 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 | 103,708,075 | |
| -1 | -103,708,075 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
103,708,075 ÷ 4 = 25,927,018.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,927,018.75 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 | 103,708,075 | |
| -1 | 103,708,075 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 25 | 85 | 239 | 425 | 1,021 | 1,195 | 4,063 | 5,105 | 5,975 | 17,357 | 20,315 | 25,525 | 86,785 | 101,575 | 244,019 | 433,925 | 1,220,095 | 4,148,323 | 6,100,475 | 20,741,615 | 103,708,075 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -25 | -85 | -239 | -425 | -1,021 | -1,195 | -4,063 | -5,105 | -5,975 | -17,357 | -20,315 | -25,525 | -86,785 | -101,575 | -244,019 | -433,925 | -1,220,095 | -4,148,323 | -6,100,475 | -20,741,615 | -103,708,075 |
