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 93,708,265, 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 | 93,708,265 | |
| -1 | -93,708,265 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 93,708,265.
Example:
1 x 93,708,265 = 93,708,265
and
-1 x -93,708,265 = 93,708,265
Notice both answers equal 93,708,265
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 93,708,265 and divide it by 2:
93,708,265 ÷ 2 = 46,854,132.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 46,854,132.5 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 | 93,708,265 | |
| -1 | -93,708,265 |
Now, we try dividing 93,708,265 by 3:
93,708,265 ÷ 3 = 31,236,088.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 31,236,088.3333 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 | 93,708,265 | |
| -1 | -93,708,265 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
93,708,265 ÷ 4 = 23,427,066.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 23,427,066.25 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 | 93,708,265 | |
| -1 | 93,708,265 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 211 | 1,055 | 1,477 | 7,385 | 12,689 | 63,445 | 88,823 | 444,115 | 2,677,379 | 13,386,895 | 18,741,653 | 93,708,265 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -211 | -1,055 | -1,477 | -7,385 | -12,689 | -63,445 | -88,823 | -444,115 | -2,677,379 | -13,386,895 | -18,741,653 | -93,708,265 |
