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 96,769,307, 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 | 96,769,307 | |
| -1 | -96,769,307 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 96,769,307.
Example:
1 x 96,769,307 = 96,769,307
and
-1 x -96,769,307 = 96,769,307
Notice both answers equal 96,769,307
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 96,769,307 and divide it by 2:
96,769,307 ÷ 2 = 48,384,653.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 48,384,653.5 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 | 96,769,307 | |
| -1 | -96,769,307 |
Now, we try dividing 96,769,307 by 3:
96,769,307 ÷ 3 = 32,256,435.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 32,256,435.6667 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 | 96,769,307 | |
| -1 | -96,769,307 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
96,769,307 ÷ 4 = 24,192,326.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 24,192,326.75 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 | 96,769,307 | |
| -1 | 96,769,307 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 41 | 43 | 131 | 419 | 1,763 | 5,371 | 5,633 | 17,179 | 18,017 | 54,889 | 230,953 | 738,697 | 2,250,449 | 2,360,227 | 96,769,307 |
| -1 | -41 | -43 | -131 | -419 | -1,763 | -5,371 | -5,633 | -17,179 | -18,017 | -54,889 | -230,953 | -738,697 | -2,250,449 | -2,360,227 | -96,769,307 |
