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 102,235,333, 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 | 102,235,333 | |
| -1 | -102,235,333 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 102,235,333.
Example:
1 x 102,235,333 = 102,235,333
and
-1 x -102,235,333 = 102,235,333
Notice both answers equal 102,235,333
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 102,235,333 and divide it by 2:
102,235,333 ÷ 2 = 51,117,666.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 51,117,666.5 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 | 102,235,333 | |
| -1 | -102,235,333 |
Now, we try dividing 102,235,333 by 3:
102,235,333 ÷ 3 = 34,078,444.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,078,444.3333 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 | 102,235,333 | |
| -1 | -102,235,333 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
102,235,333 ÷ 4 = 25,558,833.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,558,833.25 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 | 102,235,333 | |
| -1 | 102,235,333 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 83 | 241 | 269 | 1,577 | 4,579 | 5,111 | 20,003 | 22,327 | 64,829 | 380,057 | 424,213 | 1,231,751 | 5,380,807 | 102,235,333 |
| -1 | -19 | -83 | -241 | -269 | -1,577 | -4,579 | -5,111 | -20,003 | -22,327 | -64,829 | -380,057 | -424,213 | -1,231,751 | -5,380,807 | -102,235,333 |
