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 104,477,347, 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 | 104,477,347 | |
| -1 | -104,477,347 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 104,477,347.
Example:
1 x 104,477,347 = 104,477,347
and
-1 x -104,477,347 = 104,477,347
Notice both answers equal 104,477,347
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 104,477,347 and divide it by 2:
104,477,347 ÷ 2 = 52,238,673.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 52,238,673.5 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 | 104,477,347 | |
| -1 | -104,477,347 |
Now, we try dividing 104,477,347 by 3:
104,477,347 ÷ 3 = 34,825,782.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,825,782.3333 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 | 104,477,347 | |
| -1 | -104,477,347 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
104,477,347 ÷ 4 = 26,119,336.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,119,336.75 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 | 104,477,347 | |
| -1 | 104,477,347 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 31 | 131 | 403 | 1,703 | 1,979 | 4,061 | 25,727 | 52,793 | 61,349 | 259,249 | 797,537 | 3,370,237 | 8,036,719 | 104,477,347 |
| -1 | -13 | -31 | -131 | -403 | -1,703 | -1,979 | -4,061 | -25,727 | -52,793 | -61,349 | -259,249 | -797,537 | -3,370,237 | -8,036,719 | -104,477,347 |
