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 83,503,355, 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 | 83,503,355 | |
| -1 | -83,503,355 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 83,503,355.
Example:
1 x 83,503,355 = 83,503,355
and
-1 x -83,503,355 = 83,503,355
Notice both answers equal 83,503,355
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 83,503,355 and divide it by 2:
83,503,355 ÷ 2 = 41,751,677.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 41,751,677.5 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 | 83,503,355 | |
| -1 | -83,503,355 |
Now, we try dividing 83,503,355 by 3:
83,503,355 ÷ 3 = 27,834,451.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 27,834,451.6667 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 | 83,503,355 | |
| -1 | -83,503,355 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
83,503,355 ÷ 4 = 20,875,838.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 20,875,838.75 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 | 83,503,355 | |
| -1 | 83,503,355 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 53 | 65 | 265 | 689 | 3,445 | 24,239 | 121,195 | 315,107 | 1,284,667 | 1,575,535 | 6,423,335 | 16,700,671 | 83,503,355 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -53 | -65 | -265 | -689 | -3,445 | -24,239 | -121,195 | -315,107 | -1,284,667 | -1,575,535 | -6,423,335 | -16,700,671 | -83,503,355 |
