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 101,422,405, 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 | 101,422,405 | |
| -1 | -101,422,405 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 101,422,405.
Example:
1 x 101,422,405 = 101,422,405
and
-1 x -101,422,405 = 101,422,405
Notice both answers equal 101,422,405
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 101,422,405 and divide it by 2:
101,422,405 ÷ 2 = 50,711,202.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 50,711,202.5 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 | 101,422,405 | |
| -1 | -101,422,405 |
Now, we try dividing 101,422,405 by 3:
101,422,405 ÷ 3 = 33,807,468.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 33,807,468.3333 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 | 101,422,405 | |
| -1 | -101,422,405 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
101,422,405 ÷ 4 = 25,355,601.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,355,601.25 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 | 101,422,405 | |
| -1 | 101,422,405 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 49 | 245 | 503 | 823 | 2,515 | 3,521 | 4,115 | 5,761 | 17,605 | 24,647 | 28,805 | 40,327 | 123,235 | 201,635 | 413,969 | 2,069,845 | 2,897,783 | 14,488,915 | 20,284,481 | 101,422,405 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -49 | -245 | -503 | -823 | -2,515 | -3,521 | -4,115 | -5,761 | -17,605 | -24,647 | -28,805 | -40,327 | -123,235 | -201,635 | -413,969 | -2,069,845 | -2,897,783 | -14,488,915 | -20,284,481 | -101,422,405 |
