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 101,631,335, 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 | 101,631,335 | |
| -1 | -101,631,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 101,631,335.
Example:
1 x 101,631,335 = 101,631,335
and
-1 x -101,631,335 = 101,631,335
Notice both answers equal 101,631,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 101,631,335 and divide it by 2:
101,631,335 ÷ 2 = 50,815,667.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 50,815,667.5 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 | 101,631,335 | |
| -1 | -101,631,335 |
Now, we try dividing 101,631,335 by 3:
101,631,335 ÷ 3 = 33,877,111.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 33,877,111.6667 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 | 101,631,335 | |
| -1 | -101,631,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
101,631,335 ÷ 4 = 25,407,833.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,407,833.75 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 | 101,631,335 | |
| -1 | 101,631,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 59 | 65 | 295 | 767 | 3,835 | 26,501 | 132,505 | 344,513 | 1,563,559 | 1,722,565 | 7,817,795 | 20,326,267 | 101,631,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -59 | -65 | -295 | -767 | -3,835 | -26,501 | -132,505 | -344,513 | -1,563,559 | -1,722,565 | -7,817,795 | -20,326,267 | -101,631,335 |
