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 101,057,005, 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 | 101,057,005 | |
| -1 | -101,057,005 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 101,057,005.
Example:
1 x 101,057,005 = 101,057,005
and
-1 x -101,057,005 = 101,057,005
Notice both answers equal 101,057,005
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 101,057,005 and divide it by 2:
101,057,005 ÷ 2 = 50,528,502.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 50,528,502.5 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 | 101,057,005 | |
| -1 | -101,057,005 |
Now, we try dividing 101,057,005 by 3:
101,057,005 ÷ 3 = 33,685,668.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 33,685,668.3333 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 | 101,057,005 | |
| -1 | -101,057,005 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
101,057,005 ÷ 4 = 25,264,251.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,264,251.25 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 | 101,057,005 | |
| -1 | 101,057,005 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 41 | 205 | 287 | 1,435 | 70,423 | 352,115 | 492,961 | 2,464,805 | 2,887,343 | 14,436,715 | 20,211,401 | 101,057,005 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -41 | -205 | -287 | -1,435 | -70,423 | -352,115 | -492,961 | -2,464,805 | -2,887,343 | -14,436,715 | -20,211,401 | -101,057,005 |
