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 101,333,099, 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 | 101,333,099 | |
| -1 | -101,333,099 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 101,333,099.
Example:
1 x 101,333,099 = 101,333,099
and
-1 x -101,333,099 = 101,333,099
Notice both answers equal 101,333,099
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 101,333,099 and divide it by 2:
101,333,099 ÷ 2 = 50,666,549.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 50,666,549.5 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 | 101,333,099 | |
| -1 | -101,333,099 |
Now, we try dividing 101,333,099 by 3:
101,333,099 ÷ 3 = 33,777,699.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 33,777,699.6667 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 | 101,333,099 | |
| -1 | -101,333,099 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
101,333,099 ÷ 4 = 25,333,274.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,333,274.75 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 | 101,333,099 | |
| -1 | 101,333,099 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 41 | 133 | 287 | 779 | 5,453 | 18,583 | 130,081 | 353,077 | 761,903 | 2,471,539 | 5,333,321 | 14,476,157 | 101,333,099 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -41 | -133 | -287 | -779 | -5,453 | -18,583 | -130,081 | -353,077 | -761,903 | -2,471,539 | -5,333,321 | -14,476,157 | -101,333,099 |
