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 108,922,435, 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 | 108,922,435 | |
| -1 | -108,922,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 108,922,435.
Example:
1 x 108,922,435 = 108,922,435
and
-1 x -108,922,435 = 108,922,435
Notice both answers equal 108,922,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 108,922,435 and divide it by 2:
108,922,435 ÷ 2 = 54,461,217.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 54,461,217.5 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 | 108,922,435 | |
| -1 | -108,922,435 |
Now, we try dividing 108,922,435 by 3:
108,922,435 ÷ 3 = 36,307,478.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 36,307,478.3333 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 | 108,922,435 | |
| -1 | -108,922,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
108,922,435 ÷ 4 = 27,230,608.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 27,230,608.75 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 | 108,922,435 | |
| -1 | 108,922,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 79 | 313 | 395 | 881 | 1,565 | 4,405 | 24,727 | 69,599 | 123,635 | 275,753 | 347,995 | 1,378,765 | 21,784,487 | 108,922,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -79 | -313 | -395 | -881 | -1,565 | -4,405 | -24,727 | -69,599 | -123,635 | -275,753 | -347,995 | -1,378,765 | -21,784,487 | -108,922,435 |
