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 104,220,035, 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 | 104,220,035 | |
| -1 | -104,220,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 104,220,035.
Example:
1 x 104,220,035 = 104,220,035
and
-1 x -104,220,035 = 104,220,035
Notice both answers equal 104,220,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 104,220,035 and divide it by 2:
104,220,035 ÷ 2 = 52,110,017.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 52,110,017.5 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 | 104,220,035 | |
| -1 | -104,220,035 |
Now, we try dividing 104,220,035 by 3:
104,220,035 ÷ 3 = 34,740,011.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,740,011.6667 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 | 104,220,035 | |
| -1 | -104,220,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
104,220,035 ÷ 4 = 26,055,008.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,055,008.75 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 | 104,220,035 | |
| -1 | 104,220,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 103 | 515 | 1,957 | 9,785 | 10,651 | 53,255 | 202,369 | 1,011,845 | 1,097,053 | 5,485,265 | 20,844,007 | 104,220,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -103 | -515 | -1,957 | -9,785 | -10,651 | -53,255 | -202,369 | -1,011,845 | -1,097,053 | -5,485,265 | -20,844,007 | -104,220,035 |
