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 101,344,615, 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 | 101,344,615 | |
| -1 | -101,344,615 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 101,344,615.
Example:
1 x 101,344,615 = 101,344,615
and
-1 x -101,344,615 = 101,344,615
Notice both answers equal 101,344,615
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 101,344,615 and divide it by 2:
101,344,615 ÷ 2 = 50,672,307.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 50,672,307.5 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 | 101,344,615 | |
| -1 | -101,344,615 |
Now, we try dividing 101,344,615 by 3:
101,344,615 ÷ 3 = 33,781,538.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 33,781,538.3333 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 | 101,344,615 | |
| -1 | -101,344,615 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
101,344,615 ÷ 4 = 25,336,153.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,336,153.75 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 | 101,344,615 | |
| -1 | 101,344,615 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 113 | 181 | 565 | 905 | 991 | 4,955 | 20,453 | 102,265 | 111,983 | 179,371 | 559,915 | 896,855 | 20,268,923 | 101,344,615 |
| -1 | -5 | -113 | -181 | -565 | -905 | -991 | -4,955 | -20,453 | -102,265 | -111,983 | -179,371 | -559,915 | -896,855 | -20,268,923 | -101,344,615 |
