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 109,016,695, 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 | 109,016,695 | |
| -1 | -109,016,695 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 109,016,695.
Example:
1 x 109,016,695 = 109,016,695
and
-1 x -109,016,695 = 109,016,695
Notice both answers equal 109,016,695
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 109,016,695 and divide it by 2:
109,016,695 ÷ 2 = 54,508,347.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 54,508,347.5 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 | 109,016,695 | |
| -1 | -109,016,695 |
Now, we try dividing 109,016,695 by 3:
109,016,695 ÷ 3 = 36,338,898.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 36,338,898.3333 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 | 109,016,695 | |
| -1 | -109,016,695 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
109,016,695 ÷ 4 = 27,254,173.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 27,254,173.75 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 | 109,016,695 | |
| -1 | 109,016,695 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 2,647 | 8,237 | 13,235 | 41,185 | 21,803,339 | 109,016,695 |
| -1 | -5 | -2,647 | -8,237 | -13,235 | -41,185 | -21,803,339 | -109,016,695 |
