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 102,267,667, 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 | 102,267,667 | |
| -1 | -102,267,667 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 102,267,667.
Example:
1 x 102,267,667 = 102,267,667
and
-1 x -102,267,667 = 102,267,667
Notice both answers equal 102,267,667
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 102,267,667 and divide it by 2:
102,267,667 ÷ 2 = 51,133,833.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 51,133,833.5 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 | 102,267,667 | |
| -1 | -102,267,667 |
Now, we try dividing 102,267,667 by 3:
102,267,667 ÷ 3 = 34,089,222.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,089,222.3333 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 | 102,267,667 | |
| -1 | -102,267,667 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
102,267,667 ÷ 4 = 25,566,916.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,566,916.75 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 | 102,267,667 | |
| -1 | 102,267,667 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 31 | 37 | 163 | 547 | 1,147 | 5,053 | 6,031 | 16,957 | 20,239 | 89,161 | 186,961 | 627,409 | 2,763,991 | 3,298,957 | 102,267,667 |
| -1 | -31 | -37 | -163 | -547 | -1,147 | -5,053 | -6,031 | -16,957 | -20,239 | -89,161 | -186,961 | -627,409 | -2,763,991 | -3,298,957 | -102,267,667 |
