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 88,926,115, 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 | 88,926,115 | |
| -1 | -88,926,115 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 88,926,115.
Example:
1 x 88,926,115 = 88,926,115
and
-1 x -88,926,115 = 88,926,115
Notice both answers equal 88,926,115
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 88,926,115 and divide it by 2:
88,926,115 ÷ 2 = 44,463,057.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 44,463,057.5 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 | 88,926,115 | |
| -1 | -88,926,115 |
Now, we try dividing 88,926,115 by 3:
88,926,115 ÷ 3 = 29,642,038.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 29,642,038.3333 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 | 88,926,115 | |
| -1 | -88,926,115 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
88,926,115 ÷ 4 = 22,231,528.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 22,231,528.75 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 | 88,926,115 | |
| -1 | 88,926,115 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 47 | 227 | 235 | 1,135 | 1,667 | 8,335 | 10,669 | 53,345 | 78,349 | 378,409 | 391,745 | 1,892,045 | 17,785,223 | 88,926,115 |
| -1 | -5 | -47 | -227 | -235 | -1,135 | -1,667 | -8,335 | -10,669 | -53,345 | -78,349 | -378,409 | -391,745 | -1,892,045 | -17,785,223 | -88,926,115 |
