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 105,758,389, 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 | 105,758,389 | |
| -1 | -105,758,389 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 105,758,389.
Example:
1 x 105,758,389 = 105,758,389
and
-1 x -105,758,389 = 105,758,389
Notice both answers equal 105,758,389
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 105,758,389 and divide it by 2:
105,758,389 ÷ 2 = 52,879,194.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 52,879,194.5 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 | 105,758,389 | |
| -1 | -105,758,389 |
Now, we try dividing 105,758,389 by 3:
105,758,389 ÷ 3 = 35,252,796.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 35,252,796.3333 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 | 105,758,389 | |
| -1 | -105,758,389 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
105,758,389 ÷ 4 = 26,439,597.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,439,597.25 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 | 105,758,389 | |
| -1 | 105,758,389 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 29 | 209 | 319 | 551 | 6,061 | 17,449 | 191,939 | 331,531 | 506,021 | 3,646,841 | 5,566,231 | 9,614,399 | 105,758,389 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -29 | -209 | -319 | -551 | -6,061 | -17,449 | -191,939 | -331,531 | -506,021 | -3,646,841 | -5,566,231 | -9,614,399 | -105,758,389 |
