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 105,737,269, 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 | 105,737,269 | |
| -1 | -105,737,269 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 105,737,269.
Example:
1 x 105,737,269 = 105,737,269
and
-1 x -105,737,269 = 105,737,269
Notice both answers equal 105,737,269
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 105,737,269 and divide it by 2:
105,737,269 ÷ 2 = 52,868,634.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 52,868,634.5 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 | 105,737,269 | |
| -1 | -105,737,269 |
Now, we try dividing 105,737,269 by 3:
105,737,269 ÷ 3 = 35,245,756.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 35,245,756.3333 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 | 105,737,269 | |
| -1 | -105,737,269 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
105,737,269 ÷ 4 = 26,434,317.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,434,317.25 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 | 105,737,269 | |
| -1 | 105,737,269 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 83 | 179 | 647 | 913 | 1,969 | 7,117 | 14,857 | 53,701 | 115,813 | 163,427 | 590,711 | 1,273,943 | 9,612,479 | 105,737,269 |
| -1 | -11 | -83 | -179 | -647 | -913 | -1,969 | -7,117 | -14,857 | -53,701 | -115,813 | -163,427 | -590,711 | -1,273,943 | -9,612,479 | -105,737,269 |
