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 85,536,065, 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 | 85,536,065 | |
| -1 | -85,536,065 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 85,536,065.
Example:
1 x 85,536,065 = 85,536,065
and
-1 x -85,536,065 = 85,536,065
Notice both answers equal 85,536,065
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 85,536,065 and divide it by 2:
85,536,065 ÷ 2 = 42,768,032.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 42,768,032.5 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 | 85,536,065 | |
| -1 | -85,536,065 |
Now, we try dividing 85,536,065 by 3:
85,536,065 ÷ 3 = 28,512,021.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 28,512,021.6667 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 | 85,536,065 | |
| -1 | -85,536,065 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
85,536,065 ÷ 4 = 21,384,016.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 21,384,016.25 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 | 85,536,065 | |
| -1 | 85,536,065 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 79 | 83 | 395 | 415 | 2,609 | 6,557 | 13,045 | 32,785 | 206,111 | 216,547 | 1,030,555 | 1,082,735 | 17,107,213 | 85,536,065 |
| -1 | -5 | -79 | -83 | -395 | -415 | -2,609 | -6,557 | -13,045 | -32,785 | -206,111 | -216,547 | -1,030,555 | -1,082,735 | -17,107,213 | -85,536,065 |
