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 104,645,893, 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 | 104,645,893 | |
| -1 | -104,645,893 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 104,645,893.
Example:
1 x 104,645,893 = 104,645,893
and
-1 x -104,645,893 = 104,645,893
Notice both answers equal 104,645,893
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 104,645,893 and divide it by 2:
104,645,893 ÷ 2 = 52,322,946.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 52,322,946.5 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 | 104,645,893 | |
| -1 | -104,645,893 |
Now, we try dividing 104,645,893 by 3:
104,645,893 ÷ 3 = 34,881,964.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,881,964.3333 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 | 104,645,893 | |
| -1 | -104,645,893 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
104,645,893 ÷ 4 = 26,161,473.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,161,473.25 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 | 104,645,893 | |
| -1 | 104,645,893 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 67 | 107 | 737 | 1,177 | 1,327 | 7,169 | 14,597 | 78,859 | 88,909 | 141,989 | 977,999 | 1,561,879 | 9,513,263 | 104,645,893 |
| -1 | -11 | -67 | -107 | -737 | -1,177 | -1,327 | -7,169 | -14,597 | -78,859 | -88,909 | -141,989 | -977,999 | -1,561,879 | -9,513,263 | -104,645,893 |
