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 100,551,121, 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 | 100,551,121 | |
| -1 | -100,551,121 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 100,551,121.
Example:
1 x 100,551,121 = 100,551,121
and
-1 x -100,551,121 = 100,551,121
Notice both answers equal 100,551,121
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 100,551,121 and divide it by 2:
100,551,121 ÷ 2 = 50,275,560.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 50,275,560.5 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 | 100,551,121 | |
| -1 | -100,551,121 |
Now, we try dividing 100,551,121 by 3:
100,551,121 ÷ 3 = 33,517,040.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 33,517,040.3333 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 | 100,551,121 | |
| -1 | -100,551,121 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
100,551,121 ÷ 4 = 25,137,780.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,137,780.25 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 | 100,551,121 | |
| -1 | 100,551,121 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 67 | 79 | 121 | 157 | 737 | 869 | 1,727 | 5,293 | 8,107 | 9,559 | 10,519 | 12,403 | 18,997 | 58,223 | 115,709 | 136,433 | 640,453 | 831,001 | 1,272,799 | 1,500,763 | 9,141,011 | 100,551,121 |
| -1 | -11 | -67 | -79 | -121 | -157 | -737 | -869 | -1,727 | -5,293 | -8,107 | -9,559 | -10,519 | -12,403 | -18,997 | -58,223 | -115,709 | -136,433 | -640,453 | -831,001 | -1,272,799 | -1,500,763 | -9,141,011 | -100,551,121 |
