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 101,333,827, 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 | 101,333,827 | |
| -1 | -101,333,827 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 101,333,827.
Example:
1 x 101,333,827 = 101,333,827
and
-1 x -101,333,827 = 101,333,827
Notice both answers equal 101,333,827
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 101,333,827 and divide it by 2:
101,333,827 ÷ 2 = 50,666,913.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 50,666,913.5 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 | 101,333,827 | |
| -1 | -101,333,827 |
Now, we try dividing 101,333,827 by 3:
101,333,827 ÷ 3 = 33,777,942.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 33,777,942.3333 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 | 101,333,827 | |
| -1 | -101,333,827 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
101,333,827 ÷ 4 = 25,333,456.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,333,456.75 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 | 101,333,827 | |
| -1 | 101,333,827 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 53 | 71 | 371 | 497 | 3,763 | 3,847 | 26,341 | 26,929 | 203,891 | 273,137 | 1,427,237 | 1,911,959 | 14,476,261 | 101,333,827 |
| -1 | -7 | -53 | -71 | -371 | -497 | -3,763 | -3,847 | -26,341 | -26,929 | -203,891 | -273,137 | -1,427,237 | -1,911,959 | -14,476,261 | -101,333,827 |
