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 96,466,895, 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 | 96,466,895 | |
| -1 | -96,466,895 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 96,466,895.
Example:
1 x 96,466,895 = 96,466,895
and
-1 x -96,466,895 = 96,466,895
Notice both answers equal 96,466,895
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 96,466,895 and divide it by 2:
96,466,895 ÷ 2 = 48,233,447.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 48,233,447.5 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 | 96,466,895 | |
| -1 | -96,466,895 |
Now, we try dividing 96,466,895 by 3:
96,466,895 ÷ 3 = 32,155,631.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 32,155,631.6667 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 | 96,466,895 | |
| -1 | -96,466,895 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
96,466,895 ÷ 4 = 24,116,723.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 24,116,723.75 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 | 96,466,895 | |
| -1 | 96,466,895 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 19 | 35 | 95 | 133 | 665 | 145,063 | 725,315 | 1,015,441 | 2,756,197 | 5,077,205 | 13,780,985 | 19,293,379 | 96,466,895 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -19 | -35 | -95 | -133 | -665 | -145,063 | -725,315 | -1,015,441 | -2,756,197 | -5,077,205 | -13,780,985 | -19,293,379 | -96,466,895 |
