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 92,567,387, 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 | 92,567,387 | |
| -1 | -92,567,387 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 92,567,387.
Example:
1 x 92,567,387 = 92,567,387
and
-1 x -92,567,387 = 92,567,387
Notice both answers equal 92,567,387
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 92,567,387 and divide it by 2:
92,567,387 ÷ 2 = 46,283,693.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 46,283,693.5 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 | 92,567,387 | |
| -1 | -92,567,387 |
Now, we try dividing 92,567,387 by 3:
92,567,387 ÷ 3 = 30,855,795.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 30,855,795.6667 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 | 92,567,387 | |
| -1 | -92,567,387 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
92,567,387 ÷ 4 = 23,141,846.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 23,141,846.75 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 | 92,567,387 | |
| -1 | 92,567,387 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 89 | 253 | 979 | 2,047 | 4,111 | 22,517 | 45,221 | 94,553 | 365,879 | 1,040,083 | 4,024,669 | 8,415,217 | 92,567,387 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -89 | -253 | -979 | -2,047 | -4,111 | -22,517 | -45,221 | -94,553 | -365,879 | -1,040,083 | -4,024,669 | -8,415,217 | -92,567,387 |
