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 88,105,535, 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 | 88,105,535 | |
| -1 | -88,105,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 88,105,535.
Example:
1 x 88,105,535 = 88,105,535
and
-1 x -88,105,535 = 88,105,535
Notice both answers equal 88,105,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 88,105,535 and divide it by 2:
88,105,535 ÷ 2 = 44,052,767.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 44,052,767.5 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 | 88,105,535 | |
| -1 | -88,105,535 |
Now, we try dividing 88,105,535 by 3:
88,105,535 ÷ 3 = 29,368,511.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 29,368,511.6667 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 | 88,105,535 | |
| -1 | -88,105,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
88,105,535 ÷ 4 = 22,026,383.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 22,026,383.75 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 | 88,105,535 | |
| -1 | 88,105,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 113 | 565 | 791 | 3,955 | 22,277 | 111,385 | 155,939 | 779,695 | 2,517,301 | 12,586,505 | 17,621,107 | 88,105,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -113 | -565 | -791 | -3,955 | -22,277 | -111,385 | -155,939 | -779,695 | -2,517,301 | -12,586,505 | -17,621,107 | -88,105,535 |
