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 104,341,133, 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 | 104,341,133 | |
| -1 | -104,341,133 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 104,341,133.
Example:
1 x 104,341,133 = 104,341,133
and
-1 x -104,341,133 = 104,341,133
Notice both answers equal 104,341,133
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 104,341,133 and divide it by 2:
104,341,133 ÷ 2 = 52,170,566.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 52,170,566.5 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 | 104,341,133 | |
| -1 | -104,341,133 |
Now, we try dividing 104,341,133 by 3:
104,341,133 ÷ 3 = 34,780,377.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,780,377.6667 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 | 104,341,133 | |
| -1 | -104,341,133 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
104,341,133 ÷ 4 = 26,085,283.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,085,283.25 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 | 104,341,133 | |
| -1 | 104,341,133 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 23 | 31 | 299 | 403 | 713 | 9,269 | 11,257 | 146,341 | 258,911 | 348,967 | 3,365,843 | 4,536,571 | 8,026,241 | 104,341,133 |
| -1 | -13 | -23 | -31 | -299 | -403 | -713 | -9,269 | -11,257 | -146,341 | -258,911 | -348,967 | -3,365,843 | -4,536,571 | -8,026,241 | -104,341,133 |
