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 100,011,053, 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 | 100,011,053 | |
| -1 | -100,011,053 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 100,011,053.
Example:
1 x 100,011,053 = 100,011,053
and
-1 x -100,011,053 = 100,011,053
Notice both answers equal 100,011,053
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 100,011,053 and divide it by 2:
100,011,053 ÷ 2 = 50,005,526.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 50,005,526.5 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 | 100,011,053 | |
| -1 | -100,011,053 |
Now, we try dividing 100,011,053 by 3:
100,011,053 ÷ 3 = 33,337,017.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 33,337,017.6667 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 | 100,011,053 | |
| -1 | -100,011,053 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
100,011,053 ÷ 4 = 25,002,763.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,002,763.25 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 | 100,011,053 | |
| -1 | 100,011,053 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 31 | 53 | 899 | 1,537 | 1,643 | 2,099 | 47,647 | 60,871 | 65,069 | 111,247 | 1,887,001 | 3,226,163 | 3,448,657 | 100,011,053 |
| -1 | -29 | -31 | -53 | -899 | -1,537 | -1,643 | -2,099 | -47,647 | -60,871 | -65,069 | -111,247 | -1,887,001 | -3,226,163 | -3,448,657 | -100,011,053 |
