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 104,403,011, 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 | 104,403,011 | |
| -1 | -104,403,011 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 104,403,011.
Example:
1 x 104,403,011 = 104,403,011
and
-1 x -104,403,011 = 104,403,011
Notice both answers equal 104,403,011
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 104,403,011 and divide it by 2:
104,403,011 ÷ 2 = 52,201,505.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 52,201,505.5 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 | 104,403,011 | |
| -1 | -104,403,011 |
Now, we try dividing 104,403,011 by 3:
104,403,011 ÷ 3 = 34,801,003.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,801,003.6667 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 | 104,403,011 | |
| -1 | -104,403,011 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
104,403,011 ÷ 4 = 26,100,752.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,100,752.75 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 | 104,403,011 | |
| -1 | 104,403,011 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 37 | 43 | 211 | 311 | 1,591 | 7,807 | 9,073 | 11,507 | 13,373 | 65,621 | 335,701 | 494,801 | 2,427,977 | 2,821,703 | 104,403,011 |
| -1 | -37 | -43 | -211 | -311 | -1,591 | -7,807 | -9,073 | -11,507 | -13,373 | -65,621 | -335,701 | -494,801 | -2,427,977 | -2,821,703 | -104,403,011 |
