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 101,450,263, 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 | 101,450,263 | |
| -1 | -101,450,263 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 101,450,263.
Example:
1 x 101,450,263 = 101,450,263
and
-1 x -101,450,263 = 101,450,263
Notice both answers equal 101,450,263
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 101,450,263 and divide it by 2:
101,450,263 ÷ 2 = 50,725,131.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 50,725,131.5 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 | 101,450,263 | |
| -1 | -101,450,263 |
Now, we try dividing 101,450,263 by 3:
101,450,263 ÷ 3 = 33,816,754.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 33,816,754.3333 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 | 101,450,263 | |
| -1 | -101,450,263 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
101,450,263 ÷ 4 = 25,362,565.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,362,565.75 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 | 101,450,263 | |
| -1 | 101,450,263 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 37 | 97 | 851 | 1,229 | 2,231 | 3,589 | 28,267 | 45,473 | 82,547 | 119,213 | 1,045,879 | 2,741,899 | 4,410,881 | 101,450,263 |
| -1 | -23 | -37 | -97 | -851 | -1,229 | -2,231 | -3,589 | -28,267 | -45,473 | -82,547 | -119,213 | -1,045,879 | -2,741,899 | -4,410,881 | -101,450,263 |
