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 101,511,445, 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 | 101,511,445 | |
| -1 | -101,511,445 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 101,511,445.
Example:
1 x 101,511,445 = 101,511,445
and
-1 x -101,511,445 = 101,511,445
Notice both answers equal 101,511,445
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 101,511,445 and divide it by 2:
101,511,445 ÷ 2 = 50,755,722.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 50,755,722.5 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 | 101,511,445 | |
| -1 | -101,511,445 |
Now, we try dividing 101,511,445 by 3:
101,511,445 ÷ 3 = 33,837,148.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 33,837,148.3333 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 | 101,511,445 | |
| -1 | -101,511,445 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
101,511,445 ÷ 4 = 25,377,861.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,377,861.25 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 | 101,511,445 | |
| -1 | 101,511,445 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 79 | 395 | 553 | 2,765 | 36,713 | 183,565 | 256,991 | 1,284,955 | 2,900,327 | 14,501,635 | 20,302,289 | 101,511,445 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -79 | -395 | -553 | -2,765 | -36,713 | -183,565 | -256,991 | -1,284,955 | -2,900,327 | -14,501,635 | -20,302,289 | -101,511,445 |
