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 104,414,413, 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 | 104,414,413 | |
| -1 | -104,414,413 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 104,414,413.
Example:
1 x 104,414,413 = 104,414,413
and
-1 x -104,414,413 = 104,414,413
Notice both answers equal 104,414,413
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 104,414,413 and divide it by 2:
104,414,413 ÷ 2 = 52,207,206.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 52,207,206.5 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 | 104,414,413 | |
| -1 | -104,414,413 |
Now, we try dividing 104,414,413 by 3:
104,414,413 ÷ 3 = 34,804,804.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,804,804.3333 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 | 104,414,413 | |
| -1 | -104,414,413 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
104,414,413 ÷ 4 = 26,103,603.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,103,603.25 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 | 104,414,413 | |
| -1 | 104,414,413 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 41 | 137 | 641 | 1,189 | 3,973 | 5,617 | 18,589 | 26,281 | 87,817 | 162,893 | 762,149 | 2,546,693 | 3,600,497 | 104,414,413 |
| -1 | -29 | -41 | -137 | -641 | -1,189 | -3,973 | -5,617 | -18,589 | -26,281 | -87,817 | -162,893 | -762,149 | -2,546,693 | -3,600,497 | -104,414,413 |
