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 101,004,443, 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 | 101,004,443 | |
| -1 | -101,004,443 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 101,004,443.
Example:
1 x 101,004,443 = 101,004,443
and
-1 x -101,004,443 = 101,004,443
Notice both answers equal 101,004,443
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 101,004,443 and divide it by 2:
101,004,443 ÷ 2 = 50,502,221.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 50,502,221.5 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 | 101,004,443 | |
| -1 | -101,004,443 |
Now, we try dividing 101,004,443 by 3:
101,004,443 ÷ 3 = 33,668,147.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 33,668,147.6667 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 | 101,004,443 | |
| -1 | -101,004,443 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
101,004,443 ÷ 4 = 25,251,110.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,251,110.75 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 | 101,004,443 | |
| -1 | 101,004,443 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 41 | 67 | 83 | 443 | 2,747 | 3,403 | 5,561 | 18,163 | 29,681 | 36,769 | 228,001 | 1,216,921 | 1,507,529 | 2,463,523 | 101,004,443 |
| -1 | -41 | -67 | -83 | -443 | -2,747 | -3,403 | -5,561 | -18,163 | -29,681 | -36,769 | -228,001 | -1,216,921 | -1,507,529 | -2,463,523 | -101,004,443 |
