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 100,241,323, 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 | 100,241,323 | |
| -1 | -100,241,323 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 100,241,323.
Example:
1 x 100,241,323 = 100,241,323
and
-1 x -100,241,323 = 100,241,323
Notice both answers equal 100,241,323
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 100,241,323 and divide it by 2:
100,241,323 ÷ 2 = 50,120,661.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 50,120,661.5 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 | 100,241,323 | |
| -1 | -100,241,323 |
Now, we try dividing 100,241,323 by 3:
100,241,323 ÷ 3 = 33,413,774.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 33,413,774.3333 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 | 100,241,323 | |
| -1 | -100,241,323 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
100,241,323 ÷ 4 = 25,060,330.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,060,330.75 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 | 100,241,323 | |
| -1 | 100,241,323 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 89 | 91 | 623 | 1,157 | 8,099 | 12,377 | 86,639 | 160,901 | 1,101,553 | 1,126,307 | 7,710,871 | 14,320,189 | 100,241,323 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -89 | -91 | -623 | -1,157 | -8,099 | -12,377 | -86,639 | -160,901 | -1,101,553 | -1,126,307 | -7,710,871 | -14,320,189 | -100,241,323 |
