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 105,752,437, 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 | 105,752,437 | |
| -1 | -105,752,437 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 105,752,437.
Example:
1 x 105,752,437 = 105,752,437
and
-1 x -105,752,437 = 105,752,437
Notice both answers equal 105,752,437
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 105,752,437 and divide it by 2:
105,752,437 ÷ 2 = 52,876,218.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 52,876,218.5 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 | 105,752,437 | |
| -1 | -105,752,437 |
Now, we try dividing 105,752,437 by 3:
105,752,437 ÷ 3 = 35,250,812.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 35,250,812.3333 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 | 105,752,437 | |
| -1 | -105,752,437 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
105,752,437 ÷ 4 = 26,438,109.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,438,109.25 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 | 105,752,437 | |
| -1 | 105,752,437 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 43 | 49 | 53 | 301 | 371 | 947 | 2,107 | 2,279 | 2,597 | 6,629 | 15,953 | 40,721 | 46,403 | 50,191 | 111,671 | 285,047 | 351,337 | 1,995,329 | 2,158,213 | 2,459,359 | 15,107,491 | 105,752,437 |
| -1 | -7 | -43 | -49 | -53 | -301 | -371 | -947 | -2,107 | -2,279 | -2,597 | -6,629 | -15,953 | -40,721 | -46,403 | -50,191 | -111,671 | -285,047 | -351,337 | -1,995,329 | -2,158,213 | -2,459,359 | -15,107,491 | -105,752,437 |
