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 104,441,095, 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 | 104,441,095 | |
| -1 | -104,441,095 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 104,441,095.
Example:
1 x 104,441,095 = 104,441,095
and
-1 x -104,441,095 = 104,441,095
Notice both answers equal 104,441,095
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 104,441,095 and divide it by 2:
104,441,095 ÷ 2 = 52,220,547.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 52,220,547.5 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 | 104,441,095 | |
| -1 | -104,441,095 |
Now, we try dividing 104,441,095 by 3:
104,441,095 ÷ 3 = 34,813,698.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,813,698.3333 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 | 104,441,095 | |
| -1 | -104,441,095 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
104,441,095 ÷ 4 = 26,110,273.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,110,273.75 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 | 104,441,095 | |
| -1 | 104,441,095 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 107 | 535 | 1,177 | 5,885 | 17,747 | 88,735 | 195,217 | 976,085 | 1,898,929 | 9,494,645 | 20,888,219 | 104,441,095 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -107 | -535 | -1,177 | -5,885 | -17,747 | -88,735 | -195,217 | -976,085 | -1,898,929 | -9,494,645 | -20,888,219 | -104,441,095 |
