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 92,830,217, 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 | 92,830,217 | |
| -1 | -92,830,217 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 92,830,217.
Example:
1 x 92,830,217 = 92,830,217
and
-1 x -92,830,217 = 92,830,217
Notice both answers equal 92,830,217
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 92,830,217 and divide it by 2:
92,830,217 ÷ 2 = 46,415,108.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 46,415,108.5 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 | 92,830,217 | |
| -1 | -92,830,217 |
Now, we try dividing 92,830,217 by 3:
92,830,217 ÷ 3 = 30,943,405.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 30,943,405.6667 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 | 92,830,217 | |
| -1 | -92,830,217 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
92,830,217 ÷ 4 = 23,207,554.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 23,207,554.25 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 | 92,830,217 | |
| -1 | 92,830,217 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 47 | 223 | 521 | 799 | 3,791 | 8,857 | 10,481 | 24,487 | 116,183 | 178,177 | 416,279 | 1,975,111 | 5,460,601 | 92,830,217 |
| -1 | -17 | -47 | -223 | -521 | -799 | -3,791 | -8,857 | -10,481 | -24,487 | -116,183 | -178,177 | -416,279 | -1,975,111 | -5,460,601 | -92,830,217 |
