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 100,425,523, 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 | 100,425,523 | |
| -1 | -100,425,523 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 100,425,523.
Example:
1 x 100,425,523 = 100,425,523
and
-1 x -100,425,523 = 100,425,523
Notice both answers equal 100,425,523
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 100,425,523 and divide it by 2:
100,425,523 ÷ 2 = 50,212,761.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 50,212,761.5 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 | 100,425,523 | |
| -1 | -100,425,523 |
Now, we try dividing 100,425,523 by 3:
100,425,523 ÷ 3 = 33,475,174.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 33,475,174.3333 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 | 100,425,523 | |
| -1 | -100,425,523 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
100,425,523 ÷ 4 = 25,106,380.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,106,380.75 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 | 100,425,523 | |
| -1 | 100,425,523 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 31 | 41 | 121 | 341 | 451 | 653 | 1,271 | 3,751 | 4,961 | 7,183 | 13,981 | 20,243 | 26,773 | 79,013 | 153,791 | 222,673 | 294,503 | 829,963 | 2,449,403 | 3,239,533 | 9,129,593 | 100,425,523 |
| -1 | -11 | -31 | -41 | -121 | -341 | -451 | -653 | -1,271 | -3,751 | -4,961 | -7,183 | -13,981 | -20,243 | -26,773 | -79,013 | -153,791 | -222,673 | -294,503 | -829,963 | -2,449,403 | -3,239,533 | -9,129,593 | -100,425,523 |
