How do I find the factor combinations of the number 93,696,085?

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 93,696,085, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 93,696,085
-1 -93,696,085

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 93,696,085.

Example:
1 x 93,696,085 = 93,696,085
and
-1 x -93,696,085 = 93,696,085
Notice both answers equal 93,696,085

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 93,696,085 and divide it by 2:

93,696,085 ÷ 2 = 46,848,042.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 46,848,042.5 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 93,696,085
-1 -93,696,085

Now, we try dividing 93,696,085 by 3:

93,696,085 ÷ 3 = 31,232,028.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 31,232,028.3333 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 93,696,085
-1 -93,696,085

Let's try dividing by 4:

93,696,085 ÷ 4 = 23,424,021.25

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 23,424,021.25 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 93,696,085
-1 93,696,085
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

1573549892454456233,1154,2974,36121,48521,80530,079150,395210,553382,4331,052,7651,912,1652,677,03113,385,15518,739,21793,696,085
