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 104,104,039, 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 | 104,104,039 | |
| -1 | -104,104,039 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 104,104,039.
Example:
1 x 104,104,039 = 104,104,039
and
-1 x -104,104,039 = 104,104,039
Notice both answers equal 104,104,039
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 104,104,039 and divide it by 2:
104,104,039 ÷ 2 = 52,052,019.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 52,052,019.5 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 | 104,104,039 | |
| -1 | -104,104,039 |
Now, we try dividing 104,104,039 by 3:
104,104,039 ÷ 3 = 34,701,346.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,701,346.3333 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 | 104,104,039 | |
| -1 | -104,104,039 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
104,104,039 ÷ 4 = 26,026,009.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,026,009.75 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 | 104,104,039 | |
| -1 | 104,104,039 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 221 | 619 | 761 | 8,047 | 9,893 | 10,523 | 12,937 | 136,799 | 168,181 | 471,059 | 6,123,767 | 8,008,003 | 104,104,039 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -221 | -619 | -761 | -8,047 | -9,893 | -10,523 | -12,937 | -136,799 | -168,181 | -471,059 | -6,123,767 | -8,008,003 | -104,104,039 |
