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 101,302,445, 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 | 101,302,445 | |
| -1 | -101,302,445 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 101,302,445.
Example:
1 x 101,302,445 = 101,302,445
and
-1 x -101,302,445 = 101,302,445
Notice both answers equal 101,302,445
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 101,302,445 and divide it by 2:
101,302,445 ÷ 2 = 50,651,222.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 50,651,222.5 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 | 101,302,445 | |
| -1 | -101,302,445 |
Now, we try dividing 101,302,445 by 3:
101,302,445 ÷ 3 = 33,767,481.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 33,767,481.6667 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 | 101,302,445 | |
| -1 | -101,302,445 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
101,302,445 ÷ 4 = 25,325,611.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,325,611.25 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 | 101,302,445 | |
| -1 | 101,302,445 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 71 | 355 | 461 | 619 | 2,305 | 3,095 | 32,731 | 43,949 | 163,655 | 219,745 | 285,359 | 1,426,795 | 20,260,489 | 101,302,445 |
| -1 | -5 | -71 | -355 | -461 | -619 | -2,305 | -3,095 | -32,731 | -43,949 | -163,655 | -219,745 | -285,359 | -1,426,795 | -20,260,489 | -101,302,445 |
