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 100,401,035, 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 | 100,401,035 | |
| -1 | -100,401,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 100,401,035.
Example:
1 x 100,401,035 = 100,401,035
and
-1 x -100,401,035 = 100,401,035
Notice both answers equal 100,401,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 100,401,035 and divide it by 2:
100,401,035 ÷ 2 = 50,200,517.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 50,200,517.5 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 | 100,401,035 | |
| -1 | -100,401,035 |
Now, we try dividing 100,401,035 by 3:
100,401,035 ÷ 3 = 33,467,011.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 33,467,011.6667 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 | 100,401,035 | |
| -1 | -100,401,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
100,401,035 ÷ 4 = 25,100,258.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,100,258.75 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 | 100,401,035 | |
| -1 | 100,401,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 19 | 35 | 95 | 133 | 665 | 150,979 | 754,895 | 1,056,853 | 2,868,601 | 5,284,265 | 14,343,005 | 20,080,207 | 100,401,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -19 | -35 | -95 | -133 | -665 | -150,979 | -754,895 | -1,056,853 | -2,868,601 | -5,284,265 | -14,343,005 | -20,080,207 | -100,401,035 |
