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 101,045,527, 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 | 101,045,527 | |
| -1 | -101,045,527 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 101,045,527.
Example:
1 x 101,045,527 = 101,045,527
and
-1 x -101,045,527 = 101,045,527
Notice both answers equal 101,045,527
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 101,045,527 and divide it by 2:
101,045,527 ÷ 2 = 50,522,763.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 50,522,763.5 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 | 101,045,527 | |
| -1 | -101,045,527 |
Now, we try dividing 101,045,527 by 3:
101,045,527 ÷ 3 = 33,681,842.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 33,681,842.3333 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 | 101,045,527 | |
| -1 | -101,045,527 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
101,045,527 ÷ 4 = 25,261,381.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,261,381.75 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 | 101,045,527 | |
| -1 | 101,045,527 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 89 | 121 | 853 | 979 | 1,331 | 9,383 | 10,769 | 75,917 | 103,213 | 118,459 | 835,087 | 1,135,343 | 9,185,957 | 101,045,527 |
| -1 | -11 | -89 | -121 | -853 | -979 | -1,331 | -9,383 | -10,769 | -75,917 | -103,213 | -118,459 | -835,087 | -1,135,343 | -9,185,957 | -101,045,527 |
