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 96,040,399, 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 | 96,040,399 | |
| -1 | -96,040,399 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 96,040,399.
Example:
1 x 96,040,399 = 96,040,399
and
-1 x -96,040,399 = 96,040,399
Notice both answers equal 96,040,399
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 96,040,399 and divide it by 2:
96,040,399 ÷ 2 = 48,020,199.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 48,020,199.5 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 | 96,040,399 | |
| -1 | -96,040,399 |
Now, we try dividing 96,040,399 by 3:
96,040,399 ÷ 3 = 32,013,466.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 32,013,466.3333 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 | 96,040,399 | |
| -1 | -96,040,399 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
96,040,399 ÷ 4 = 24,010,099.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 24,010,099.75 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 | 96,040,399 | |
| -1 | 96,040,399 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 53 | 91 | 371 | 689 | 4,823 | 19,913 | 139,391 | 258,869 | 1,055,389 | 1,812,083 | 7,387,723 | 13,720,057 | 96,040,399 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -53 | -91 | -371 | -689 | -4,823 | -19,913 | -139,391 | -258,869 | -1,055,389 | -1,812,083 | -7,387,723 | -13,720,057 | -96,040,399 |
