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 92,520,605, 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 | 92,520,605 | |
| -1 | -92,520,605 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 92,520,605.
Example:
1 x 92,520,605 = 92,520,605
and
-1 x -92,520,605 = 92,520,605
Notice both answers equal 92,520,605
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 92,520,605 and divide it by 2:
92,520,605 ÷ 2 = 46,260,302.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 46,260,302.5 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 | 92,520,605 | |
| -1 | -92,520,605 |
Now, we try dividing 92,520,605 by 3:
92,520,605 ÷ 3 = 30,840,201.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 30,840,201.6667 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 | 92,520,605 | |
| -1 | -92,520,605 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
92,520,605 ÷ 4 = 23,130,151.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 23,130,151.25 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 | 92,520,605 | |
| -1 | 92,520,605 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 115 | 563 | 1,429 | 2,815 | 7,145 | 12,949 | 32,867 | 64,745 | 164,335 | 804,527 | 4,022,635 | 18,504,121 | 92,520,605 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -115 | -563 | -1,429 | -2,815 | -7,145 | -12,949 | -32,867 | -64,745 | -164,335 | -804,527 | -4,022,635 | -18,504,121 | -92,520,605 |
