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 88,244,117, 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 | 88,244,117 | |
| -1 | -88,244,117 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 88,244,117.
Example:
1 x 88,244,117 = 88,244,117
and
-1 x -88,244,117 = 88,244,117
Notice both answers equal 88,244,117
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 88,244,117 and divide it by 2:
88,244,117 ÷ 2 = 44,122,058.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 44,122,058.5 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 | 88,244,117 | |
| -1 | -88,244,117 |
Now, we try dividing 88,244,117 by 3:
88,244,117 ÷ 3 = 29,414,705.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 29,414,705.6667 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 | 88,244,117 | |
| -1 | -88,244,117 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
88,244,117 ÷ 4 = 22,061,029.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 22,061,029.25 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 | 88,244,117 | |
| -1 | 88,244,117 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 59 | 103 | 767 | 1,117 | 1,339 | 6,077 | 14,521 | 65,903 | 79,001 | 115,051 | 856,739 | 1,495,663 | 6,788,009 | 88,244,117 |
| -1 | -13 | -59 | -103 | -767 | -1,117 | -1,339 | -6,077 | -14,521 | -65,903 | -79,001 | -115,051 | -856,739 | -1,495,663 | -6,788,009 | -88,244,117 |
