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 88,395,725, 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 | 88,395,725 | |
| -1 | -88,395,725 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 88,395,725.
Example:
1 x 88,395,725 = 88,395,725
and
-1 x -88,395,725 = 88,395,725
Notice both answers equal 88,395,725
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 88,395,725 and divide it by 2:
88,395,725 ÷ 2 = 44,197,862.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 44,197,862.5 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 | 88,395,725 | |
| -1 | -88,395,725 |
Now, we try dividing 88,395,725 by 3:
88,395,725 ÷ 3 = 29,465,241.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 29,465,241.6667 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 | 88,395,725 | |
| -1 | -88,395,725 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
88,395,725 ÷ 4 = 22,098,931.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 22,098,931.25 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 | 88,395,725 | |
| -1 | 88,395,725 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 31 | 55 | 155 | 275 | 341 | 775 | 1,705 | 8,525 | 10,369 | 51,845 | 114,059 | 259,225 | 321,439 | 570,295 | 1,607,195 | 2,851,475 | 3,535,829 | 8,035,975 | 17,679,145 | 88,395,725 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -31 | -55 | -155 | -275 | -341 | -775 | -1,705 | -8,525 | -10,369 | -51,845 | -114,059 | -259,225 | -321,439 | -570,295 | -1,607,195 | -2,851,475 | -3,535,829 | -8,035,975 | -17,679,145 | -88,395,725 |
