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 104,412,203, 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 | 104,412,203 | |
| -1 | -104,412,203 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 104,412,203.
Example:
1 x 104,412,203 = 104,412,203
and
-1 x -104,412,203 = 104,412,203
Notice both answers equal 104,412,203
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 104,412,203 and divide it by 2:
104,412,203 ÷ 2 = 52,206,101.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 52,206,101.5 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 | 104,412,203 | |
| -1 | -104,412,203 |
Now, we try dividing 104,412,203 by 3:
104,412,203 ÷ 3 = 34,804,067.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,804,067.6667 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 | 104,412,203 | |
| -1 | -104,412,203 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
104,412,203 ÷ 4 = 26,103,050.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,103,050.75 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 | 104,412,203 | |
| -1 | 104,412,203 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 161 | 181 | 1,267 | 3,583 | 4,163 | 25,081 | 29,141 | 82,409 | 576,863 | 648,523 | 4,539,661 | 14,916,029 | 104,412,203 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -161 | -181 | -1,267 | -3,583 | -4,163 | -25,081 | -29,141 | -82,409 | -576,863 | -648,523 | -4,539,661 | -14,916,029 | -104,412,203 |
