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 88,958,089, 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 | 88,958,089 | |
| -1 | -88,958,089 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 88,958,089.
Example:
1 x 88,958,089 = 88,958,089
and
-1 x -88,958,089 = 88,958,089
Notice both answers equal 88,958,089
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 88,958,089 and divide it by 2:
88,958,089 ÷ 2 = 44,479,044.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 44,479,044.5 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 | 88,958,089 | |
| -1 | -88,958,089 |
Now, we try dividing 88,958,089 by 3:
88,958,089 ÷ 3 = 29,652,696.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 29,652,696.3333 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 | 88,958,089 | |
| -1 | -88,958,089 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
88,958,089 ÷ 4 = 22,239,522.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 22,239,522.25 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 | 88,958,089 | |
| -1 | 88,958,089 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 253 | 587 | 599 | 6,457 | 6,589 | 13,501 | 13,777 | 148,511 | 151,547 | 351,613 | 3,867,743 | 8,087,099 | 88,958,089 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -253 | -587 | -599 | -6,457 | -6,589 | -13,501 | -13,777 | -148,511 | -151,547 | -351,613 | -3,867,743 | -8,087,099 | -88,958,089 |
