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 93,233,917, 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 | 93,233,917 | |
| -1 | -93,233,917 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 93,233,917.
Example:
1 x 93,233,917 = 93,233,917
and
-1 x -93,233,917 = 93,233,917
Notice both answers equal 93,233,917
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 93,233,917 and divide it by 2:
93,233,917 ÷ 2 = 46,616,958.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 46,616,958.5 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 | 93,233,917 | |
| -1 | -93,233,917 |
Now, we try dividing 93,233,917 by 3:
93,233,917 ÷ 3 = 31,077,972.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 31,077,972.3333 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 | 93,233,917 | |
| -1 | -93,233,917 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
93,233,917 ÷ 4 = 23,308,479.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 23,308,479.25 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 | 93,233,917 | |
| -1 | 93,233,917 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 49 | 67 | 343 | 469 | 3,283 | 4,057 | 22,981 | 28,399 | 198,793 | 271,819 | 1,391,551 | 1,902,733 | 13,319,131 | 93,233,917 |
| -1 | -7 | -49 | -67 | -343 | -469 | -3,283 | -4,057 | -22,981 | -28,399 | -198,793 | -271,819 | -1,391,551 | -1,902,733 | -13,319,131 | -93,233,917 |
