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 101,034,367, 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 | 101,034,367 | |
| -1 | -101,034,367 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 101,034,367.
Example:
1 x 101,034,367 = 101,034,367
and
-1 x -101,034,367 = 101,034,367
Notice both answers equal 101,034,367
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 101,034,367 and divide it by 2:
101,034,367 ÷ 2 = 50,517,183.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 50,517,183.5 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 | 101,034,367 | |
| -1 | -101,034,367 |
Now, we try dividing 101,034,367 by 3:
101,034,367 ÷ 3 = 33,678,122.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 33,678,122.3333 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 | 101,034,367 | |
| -1 | -101,034,367 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
101,034,367 ÷ 4 = 25,258,591.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,258,591.75 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 | 101,034,367 | |
| -1 | 101,034,367 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 149 | 157 | 617 | 1,043 | 1,099 | 4,319 | 23,393 | 91,933 | 96,869 | 163,751 | 643,531 | 678,083 | 14,433,481 | 101,034,367 |
| -1 | -7 | -149 | -157 | -617 | -1,043 | -1,099 | -4,319 | -23,393 | -91,933 | -96,869 | -163,751 | -643,531 | -678,083 | -14,433,481 | -101,034,367 |
