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 104,000,525, 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 | 104,000,525 | |
| -1 | -104,000,525 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 104,000,525.
Example:
1 x 104,000,525 = 104,000,525
and
-1 x -104,000,525 = 104,000,525
Notice both answers equal 104,000,525
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 104,000,525 and divide it by 2:
104,000,525 ÷ 2 = 52,000,262.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 52,000,262.5 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 | 104,000,525 | |
| -1 | -104,000,525 |
Now, we try dividing 104,000,525 by 3:
104,000,525 ÷ 3 = 34,666,841.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,666,841.6667 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 | 104,000,525 | |
| -1 | -104,000,525 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
104,000,525 ÷ 4 = 26,000,131.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,000,131.25 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 | 104,000,525 | |
| -1 | 104,000,525 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 29 | 37 | 145 | 185 | 725 | 925 | 1,073 | 3,877 | 5,365 | 19,385 | 26,825 | 96,925 | 112,433 | 143,449 | 562,165 | 717,245 | 2,810,825 | 3,586,225 | 4,160,021 | 20,800,105 | 104,000,525 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -29 | -37 | -145 | -185 | -725 | -925 | -1,073 | -3,877 | -5,365 | -19,385 | -26,825 | -96,925 | -112,433 | -143,449 | -562,165 | -717,245 | -2,810,825 | -3,586,225 | -4,160,021 | -20,800,105 | -104,000,525 |
