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 93,252,089, 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 | 93,252,089 | |
| -1 | -93,252,089 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 93,252,089.
Example:
1 x 93,252,089 = 93,252,089
and
-1 x -93,252,089 = 93,252,089
Notice both answers equal 93,252,089
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 93,252,089 and divide it by 2:
93,252,089 ÷ 2 = 46,626,044.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 46,626,044.5 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 | 93,252,089 | |
| -1 | -93,252,089 |
Now, we try dividing 93,252,089 by 3:
93,252,089 ÷ 3 = 31,084,029.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 31,084,029.6667 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 | 93,252,089 | |
| -1 | -93,252,089 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
93,252,089 ÷ 4 = 23,313,022.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 23,313,022.25 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 | 93,252,089 | |
| -1 | 93,252,089 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 47 | 119 | 329 | 799 | 5,593 | 16,673 | 116,711 | 283,441 | 783,631 | 1,984,087 | 5,485,417 | 13,321,727 | 93,252,089 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -47 | -119 | -329 | -799 | -5,593 | -16,673 | -116,711 | -283,441 | -783,631 | -1,984,087 | -5,485,417 | -13,321,727 | -93,252,089 |
