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 104,414,479, 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 | 104,414,479 | |
| -1 | -104,414,479 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 104,414,479.
Example:
1 x 104,414,479 = 104,414,479
and
-1 x -104,414,479 = 104,414,479
Notice both answers equal 104,414,479
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 104,414,479 and divide it by 2:
104,414,479 ÷ 2 = 52,207,239.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 52,207,239.5 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 | 104,414,479 | |
| -1 | -104,414,479 |
Now, we try dividing 104,414,479 by 3:
104,414,479 ÷ 3 = 34,804,826.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,804,826.3333 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 | 104,414,479 | |
| -1 | -104,414,479 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
104,414,479 ÷ 4 = 26,103,619.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,103,619.75 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 | 104,414,479 | |
| -1 | 104,414,479 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 31 | 109 | 403 | 1,417 | 2,377 | 3,379 | 30,901 | 43,927 | 73,687 | 259,093 | 957,931 | 3,368,209 | 8,031,883 | 104,414,479 |
| -1 | -13 | -31 | -109 | -403 | -1,417 | -2,377 | -3,379 | -30,901 | -43,927 | -73,687 | -259,093 | -957,931 | -3,368,209 | -8,031,883 | -104,414,479 |
