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 84,153,245, 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 | 84,153,245 | |
| -1 | -84,153,245 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 84,153,245.
Example:
1 x 84,153,245 = 84,153,245
and
-1 x -84,153,245 = 84,153,245
Notice both answers equal 84,153,245
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 84,153,245 and divide it by 2:
84,153,245 ÷ 2 = 42,076,622.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 42,076,622.5 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 | 84,153,245 | |
| -1 | -84,153,245 |
Now, we try dividing 84,153,245 by 3:
84,153,245 ÷ 3 = 28,051,081.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 28,051,081.6667 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 | 84,153,245 | |
| -1 | -84,153,245 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
84,153,245 ÷ 4 = 21,038,311.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 21,038,311.25 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 | 84,153,245 | |
| -1 | 84,153,245 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 461 | 2,305 | 3,319 | 5,071 | 16,595 | 25,355 | 36,509 | 182,545 | 1,530,059 | 7,650,295 | 16,830,649 | 84,153,245 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -461 | -2,305 | -3,319 | -5,071 | -16,595 | -25,355 | -36,509 | -182,545 | -1,530,059 | -7,650,295 | -16,830,649 | -84,153,245 |
