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 108,022,453, 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 | 108,022,453 | |
| -1 | -108,022,453 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 108,022,453.
Example:
1 x 108,022,453 = 108,022,453
and
-1 x -108,022,453 = 108,022,453
Notice both answers equal 108,022,453
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 108,022,453 and divide it by 2:
108,022,453 ÷ 2 = 54,011,226.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 54,011,226.5 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 | 108,022,453 | |
| -1 | -108,022,453 |
Now, we try dividing 108,022,453 by 3:
108,022,453 ÷ 3 = 36,007,484.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 36,007,484.3333 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 | 108,022,453 | |
| -1 | -108,022,453 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
108,022,453 ÷ 4 = 27,005,613.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 27,005,613.25 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 | 108,022,453 | |
| -1 | 108,022,453 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 71 | 77 | 497 | 781 | 5,467 | 19,759 | 138,313 | 217,349 | 1,402,889 | 1,521,443 | 9,820,223 | 15,431,779 | 108,022,453 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -71 | -77 | -497 | -781 | -5,467 | -19,759 | -138,313 | -217,349 | -1,402,889 | -1,521,443 | -9,820,223 | -15,431,779 | -108,022,453 |
