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 105,524,363, 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 | 105,524,363 | |
| -1 | -105,524,363 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 105,524,363.
Example:
1 x 105,524,363 = 105,524,363
and
-1 x -105,524,363 = 105,524,363
Notice both answers equal 105,524,363
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 105,524,363 and divide it by 2:
105,524,363 ÷ 2 = 52,762,181.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 52,762,181.5 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 | 105,524,363 | |
| -1 | -105,524,363 |
Now, we try dividing 105,524,363 by 3:
105,524,363 ÷ 3 = 35,174,787.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 35,174,787.6667 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 | 105,524,363 | |
| -1 | -105,524,363 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
105,524,363 ÷ 4 = 26,381,090.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,381,090.75 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 | 105,524,363 | |
| -1 | 105,524,363 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 89 | 107 | 623 | 749 | 1,583 | 9,523 | 11,081 | 66,661 | 140,887 | 169,381 | 986,209 | 1,185,667 | 15,074,909 | 105,524,363 |
| -1 | -7 | -89 | -107 | -623 | -749 | -1,583 | -9,523 | -11,081 | -66,661 | -140,887 | -169,381 | -986,209 | -1,185,667 | -15,074,909 | -105,524,363 |
