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 121,798,823, 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 | 121,798,823 | |
| -1 | -121,798,823 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 121,798,823.
Example:
1 x 121,798,823 = 121,798,823
and
-1 x -121,798,823 = 121,798,823
Notice both answers equal 121,798,823
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 121,798,823 and divide it by 2:
121,798,823 ÷ 2 = 60,899,411.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 60,899,411.5 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 | 121,798,823 | |
| -1 | -121,798,823 |
Now, we try dividing 121,798,823 by 3:
121,798,823 ÷ 3 = 40,599,607.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 40,599,607.6667 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 | 121,798,823 | |
| -1 | -121,798,823 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
121,798,823 ÷ 4 = 30,449,705.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 30,449,705.75 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 | 121,798,823 | |
| -1 | 121,798,823 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 41 | 53 | 943 | 1,219 | 2,173 | 2,437 | 49,979 | 56,051 | 99,917 | 129,161 | 2,298,091 | 2,970,703 | 5,295,601 | 121,798,823 |
| -1 | -23 | -41 | -53 | -943 | -1,219 | -2,173 | -2,437 | -49,979 | -56,051 | -99,917 | -129,161 | -2,298,091 | -2,970,703 | -5,295,601 | -121,798,823 |
