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 85,481,825, 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 | 85,481,825 | |
| -1 | -85,481,825 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 85,481,825.
Example:
1 x 85,481,825 = 85,481,825
and
-1 x -85,481,825 = 85,481,825
Notice both answers equal 85,481,825
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 85,481,825 and divide it by 2:
85,481,825 ÷ 2 = 42,740,912.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 42,740,912.5 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 | 85,481,825 | |
| -1 | -85,481,825 |
Now, we try dividing 85,481,825 by 3:
85,481,825 ÷ 3 = 28,493,941.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 28,493,941.6667 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 | 85,481,825 | |
| -1 | -85,481,825 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
85,481,825 ÷ 4 = 21,370,456.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 21,370,456.25 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 | 85,481,825 | |
| -1 | 85,481,825 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 13 | 25 | 55 | 65 | 143 | 275 | 325 | 715 | 3,575 | 23,911 | 119,555 | 263,021 | 310,843 | 597,775 | 1,315,105 | 1,554,215 | 3,419,273 | 6,575,525 | 7,771,075 | 17,096,365 | 85,481,825 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -13 | -25 | -55 | -65 | -143 | -275 | -325 | -715 | -3,575 | -23,911 | -119,555 | -263,021 | -310,843 | -597,775 | -1,315,105 | -1,554,215 | -3,419,273 | -6,575,525 | -7,771,075 | -17,096,365 | -85,481,825 |
