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 104,032,543, 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 | 104,032,543 | |
| -1 | -104,032,543 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 104,032,543.
Example:
1 x 104,032,543 = 104,032,543
and
-1 x -104,032,543 = 104,032,543
Notice both answers equal 104,032,543
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 104,032,543 and divide it by 2:
104,032,543 ÷ 2 = 52,016,271.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 52,016,271.5 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 | 104,032,543 | |
| -1 | -104,032,543 |
Now, we try dividing 104,032,543 by 3:
104,032,543 ÷ 3 = 34,677,514.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,677,514.3333 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 | 104,032,543 | |
| -1 | -104,032,543 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
104,032,543 ÷ 4 = 26,008,135.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,008,135.75 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 | 104,032,543 | |
| -1 | 104,032,543 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 109 | 191 | 263 | 2,071 | 3,629 | 4,997 | 20,819 | 28,667 | 50,233 | 395,561 | 544,673 | 954,427 | 5,475,397 | 104,032,543 |
| -1 | -19 | -109 | -191 | -263 | -2,071 | -3,629 | -4,997 | -20,819 | -28,667 | -50,233 | -395,561 | -544,673 | -954,427 | -5,475,397 | -104,032,543 |
