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 108,935,581, 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 | 108,935,581 | |
| -1 | -108,935,581 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 108,935,581.
Example:
1 x 108,935,581 = 108,935,581
and
-1 x -108,935,581 = 108,935,581
Notice both answers equal 108,935,581
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 108,935,581 and divide it by 2:
108,935,581 ÷ 2 = 54,467,790.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 54,467,790.5 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 | 108,935,581 | |
| -1 | -108,935,581 |
Now, we try dividing 108,935,581 by 3:
108,935,581 ÷ 3 = 36,311,860.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 36,311,860.3333 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 | 108,935,581 | |
| -1 | -108,935,581 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
108,935,581 ÷ 4 = 27,233,895.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 27,233,895.25 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 | 108,935,581 | |
| -1 | 108,935,581 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 31 | 103 | 109 | 313 | 3,193 | 3,379 | 9,703 | 11,227 | 32,239 | 34,117 | 348,037 | 999,409 | 1,057,627 | 3,514,051 | 108,935,581 |
| -1 | -31 | -103 | -109 | -313 | -3,193 | -3,379 | -9,703 | -11,227 | -32,239 | -34,117 | -348,037 | -999,409 | -1,057,627 | -3,514,051 | -108,935,581 |
