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 101,164,705, 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 | 101,164,705 | |
| -1 | -101,164,705 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 101,164,705.
Example:
1 x 101,164,705 = 101,164,705
and
-1 x -101,164,705 = 101,164,705
Notice both answers equal 101,164,705
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 101,164,705 and divide it by 2:
101,164,705 ÷ 2 = 50,582,352.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 50,582,352.5 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 | 101,164,705 | |
| -1 | -101,164,705 |
Now, we try dividing 101,164,705 by 3:
101,164,705 ÷ 3 = 33,721,568.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 33,721,568.3333 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 | 101,164,705 | |
| -1 | -101,164,705 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
101,164,705 ÷ 4 = 25,291,176.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,291,176.25 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 | 101,164,705 | |
| -1 | 101,164,705 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 71 | 85 | 355 | 1,207 | 6,035 | 16,763 | 83,815 | 284,971 | 1,190,173 | 1,424,855 | 5,950,865 | 20,232,941 | 101,164,705 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -71 | -85 | -355 | -1,207 | -6,035 | -16,763 | -83,815 | -284,971 | -1,190,173 | -1,424,855 | -5,950,865 | -20,232,941 | -101,164,705 |
