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 103,757,005, 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 | 103,757,005 | |
| -1 | -103,757,005 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 103,757,005.
Example:
1 x 103,757,005 = 103,757,005
and
-1 x -103,757,005 = 103,757,005
Notice both answers equal 103,757,005
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 103,757,005 and divide it by 2:
103,757,005 ÷ 2 = 51,878,502.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 51,878,502.5 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 | 103,757,005 | |
| -1 | -103,757,005 |
Now, we try dividing 103,757,005 by 3:
103,757,005 ÷ 3 = 34,585,668.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,585,668.3333 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 | 103,757,005 | |
| -1 | -103,757,005 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
103,757,005 ÷ 4 = 25,939,251.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,939,251.25 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 | 103,757,005 | |
| -1 | 103,757,005 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 19 | 55 | 95 | 209 | 1,045 | 99,289 | 496,445 | 1,092,179 | 1,886,491 | 5,460,895 | 9,432,455 | 20,751,401 | 103,757,005 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -19 | -55 | -95 | -209 | -1,045 | -99,289 | -496,445 | -1,092,179 | -1,886,491 | -5,460,895 | -9,432,455 | -20,751,401 | -103,757,005 |
