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 124,103,035, 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 | 124,103,035 | |
| -1 | -124,103,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 124,103,035.
Example:
1 x 124,103,035 = 124,103,035
and
-1 x -124,103,035 = 124,103,035
Notice both answers equal 124,103,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 124,103,035 and divide it by 2:
124,103,035 ÷ 2 = 62,051,517.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 62,051,517.5 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 | 124,103,035 | |
| -1 | -124,103,035 |
Now, we try dividing 124,103,035 by 3:
124,103,035 ÷ 3 = 41,367,678.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 41,367,678.3333 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 | 124,103,035 | |
| -1 | -124,103,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
124,103,035 ÷ 4 = 31,025,758.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 31,025,758.75 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 | 124,103,035 | |
| -1 | 124,103,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 29 | 35 | 49 | 145 | 203 | 245 | 1,015 | 1,421 | 7,105 | 17,467 | 87,335 | 122,269 | 506,543 | 611,345 | 855,883 | 2,532,715 | 3,545,801 | 4,279,415 | 17,729,005 | 24,820,607 | 124,103,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -29 | -35 | -49 | -145 | -203 | -245 | -1,015 | -1,421 | -7,105 | -17,467 | -87,335 | -122,269 | -506,543 | -611,345 | -855,883 | -2,532,715 | -3,545,801 | -4,279,415 | -17,729,005 | -24,820,607 | -124,103,035 |
