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 101,133,835, 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 | 101,133,835 | |
| -1 | -101,133,835 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 101,133,835.
Example:
1 x 101,133,835 = 101,133,835
and
-1 x -101,133,835 = 101,133,835
Notice both answers equal 101,133,835
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 101,133,835 and divide it by 2:
101,133,835 ÷ 2 = 50,566,917.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 50,566,917.5 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 | 101,133,835 | |
| -1 | -101,133,835 |
Now, we try dividing 101,133,835 by 3:
101,133,835 ÷ 3 = 33,711,278.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 33,711,278.3333 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 | 101,133,835 | |
| -1 | -101,133,835 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
101,133,835 ÷ 4 = 25,283,458.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,283,458.75 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 | 101,133,835 | |
| -1 | 101,133,835 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 73 | 365 | 803 | 4,015 | 25,189 | 125,945 | 277,079 | 1,385,395 | 1,838,797 | 9,193,985 | 20,226,767 | 101,133,835 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -73 | -365 | -803 | -4,015 | -25,189 | -125,945 | -277,079 | -1,385,395 | -1,838,797 | -9,193,985 | -20,226,767 | -101,133,835 |
