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 109,585,223, 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 | 109,585,223 | |
| -1 | -109,585,223 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 109,585,223.
Example:
1 x 109,585,223 = 109,585,223
and
-1 x -109,585,223 = 109,585,223
Notice both answers equal 109,585,223
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 109,585,223 and divide it by 2:
109,585,223 ÷ 2 = 54,792,611.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 54,792,611.5 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 | 109,585,223 | |
| -1 | -109,585,223 |
Now, we try dividing 109,585,223 by 3:
109,585,223 ÷ 3 = 36,528,407.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 36,528,407.6667 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 | 109,585,223 | |
| -1 | -109,585,223 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
109,585,223 ÷ 4 = 27,396,305.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 27,396,305.75 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 | 109,585,223 | |
| -1 | 109,585,223 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 121 | 281 | 293 | 1,331 | 3,091 | 3,223 | 34,001 | 35,453 | 82,333 | 374,011 | 389,983 | 905,663 | 9,962,293 | 109,585,223 |
| -1 | -11 | -121 | -281 | -293 | -1,331 | -3,091 | -3,223 | -34,001 | -35,453 | -82,333 | -374,011 | -389,983 | -905,663 | -9,962,293 | -109,585,223 |
