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 104,350,609, 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 | 104,350,609 | |
| -1 | -104,350,609 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 104,350,609.
Example:
1 x 104,350,609 = 104,350,609
and
-1 x -104,350,609 = 104,350,609
Notice both answers equal 104,350,609
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 104,350,609 and divide it by 2:
104,350,609 ÷ 2 = 52,175,304.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 52,175,304.5 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 | 104,350,609 | |
| -1 | -104,350,609 |
Now, we try dividing 104,350,609 by 3:
104,350,609 ÷ 3 = 34,783,536.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,783,536.3333 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 | 104,350,609 | |
| -1 | -104,350,609 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
104,350,609 ÷ 4 = 26,087,652.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,087,652.25 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 | 104,350,609 | |
| -1 | 104,350,609 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 253 | 277 | 1,489 | 3,047 | 6,371 | 16,379 | 34,247 | 70,081 | 376,717 | 412,453 | 4,536,983 | 9,486,419 | 104,350,609 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -253 | -277 | -1,489 | -3,047 | -6,371 | -16,379 | -34,247 | -70,081 | -376,717 | -412,453 | -4,536,983 | -9,486,419 | -104,350,609 |
