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 101,204,113, 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 | 101,204,113 | |
| -1 | -101,204,113 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 101,204,113.
Example:
1 x 101,204,113 = 101,204,113
and
-1 x -101,204,113 = 101,204,113
Notice both answers equal 101,204,113
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 101,204,113 and divide it by 2:
101,204,113 ÷ 2 = 50,602,056.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 50,602,056.5 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 | 101,204,113 | |
| -1 | -101,204,113 |
Now, we try dividing 101,204,113 by 3:
101,204,113 ÷ 3 = 33,734,704.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 33,734,704.3333 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 | 101,204,113 | |
| -1 | -101,204,113 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
101,204,113 ÷ 4 = 25,301,028.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,301,028.25 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 | 101,204,113 | |
| -1 | 101,204,113 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 41 | 47 | 1,189 | 1,363 | 1,811 | 1,927 | 52,519 | 55,883 | 74,251 | 85,117 | 2,153,279 | 2,468,393 | 3,489,797 | 101,204,113 |
| -1 | -29 | -41 | -47 | -1,189 | -1,363 | -1,811 | -1,927 | -52,519 | -55,883 | -74,251 | -85,117 | -2,153,279 | -2,468,393 | -3,489,797 | -101,204,113 |
