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 100,460,503, 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 | 100,460,503 | |
| -1 | -100,460,503 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 100,460,503.
Example:
1 x 100,460,503 = 100,460,503
and
-1 x -100,460,503 = 100,460,503
Notice both answers equal 100,460,503
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 100,460,503 and divide it by 2:
100,460,503 ÷ 2 = 50,230,251.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 50,230,251.5 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 | 100,460,503 | |
| -1 | -100,460,503 |
Now, we try dividing 100,460,503 by 3:
100,460,503 ÷ 3 = 33,486,834.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 33,486,834.3333 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 | 100,460,503 | |
| -1 | -100,460,503 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
100,460,503 ÷ 4 = 25,115,125.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,115,125.75 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 | 100,460,503 | |
| -1 | 100,460,503 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 113 | 143 | 1,243 | 1,469 | 6,217 | 16,159 | 68,387 | 80,821 | 702,521 | 889,031 | 7,727,731 | 9,132,773 | 100,460,503 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -113 | -143 | -1,243 | -1,469 | -6,217 | -16,159 | -68,387 | -80,821 | -702,521 | -889,031 | -7,727,731 | -9,132,773 | -100,460,503 |
