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 93,258,737, 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 | 93,258,737 | |
| -1 | -93,258,737 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 93,258,737.
Example:
1 x 93,258,737 = 93,258,737
and
-1 x -93,258,737 = 93,258,737
Notice both answers equal 93,258,737
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 93,258,737 and divide it by 2:
93,258,737 ÷ 2 = 46,629,368.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 46,629,368.5 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 | 93,258,737 | |
| -1 | -93,258,737 |
Now, we try dividing 93,258,737 by 3:
93,258,737 ÷ 3 = 31,086,245.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 31,086,245.6667 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 | 93,258,737 | |
| -1 | -93,258,737 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
93,258,737 ÷ 4 = 23,314,684.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 23,314,684.25 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 | 93,258,737 | |
| -1 | 93,258,737 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 143 | 367 | 1,777 | 4,037 | 4,771 | 19,547 | 23,101 | 52,481 | 254,111 | 652,159 | 7,173,749 | 8,478,067 | 93,258,737 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -143 | -367 | -1,777 | -4,037 | -4,771 | -19,547 | -23,101 | -52,481 | -254,111 | -652,159 | -7,173,749 | -8,478,067 | -93,258,737 |
