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 104,041,225, 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 | 104,041,225 | |
| -1 | -104,041,225 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 104,041,225.
Example:
1 x 104,041,225 = 104,041,225
and
-1 x -104,041,225 = 104,041,225
Notice both answers equal 104,041,225
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 104,041,225 and divide it by 2:
104,041,225 ÷ 2 = 52,020,612.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 52,020,612.5 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 | 104,041,225 | |
| -1 | -104,041,225 |
Now, we try dividing 104,041,225 by 3:
104,041,225 ÷ 3 = 34,680,408.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,680,408.3333 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 | 104,041,225 | |
| -1 | -104,041,225 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
104,041,225 ÷ 4 = 26,010,306.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,010,306.25 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 | 104,041,225 | |
| -1 | 104,041,225 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 37 | 137 | 185 | 685 | 821 | 925 | 3,425 | 4,105 | 5,069 | 20,525 | 25,345 | 30,377 | 112,477 | 126,725 | 151,885 | 562,385 | 759,425 | 2,811,925 | 4,161,649 | 20,808,245 | 104,041,225 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -37 | -137 | -185 | -685 | -821 | -925 | -3,425 | -4,105 | -5,069 | -20,525 | -25,345 | -30,377 | -112,477 | -126,725 | -151,885 | -562,385 | -759,425 | -2,811,925 | -4,161,649 | -20,808,245 | -104,041,225 |
