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 102,333,301, 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 | 102,333,301 | |
| -1 | -102,333,301 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 102,333,301.
Example:
1 x 102,333,301 = 102,333,301
and
-1 x -102,333,301 = 102,333,301
Notice both answers equal 102,333,301
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 102,333,301 and divide it by 2:
102,333,301 ÷ 2 = 51,166,650.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 51,166,650.5 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 | 102,333,301 | |
| -1 | -102,333,301 |
Now, we try dividing 102,333,301 by 3:
102,333,301 ÷ 3 = 34,111,100.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,111,100.3333 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 | 102,333,301 | |
| -1 | -102,333,301 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
102,333,301 ÷ 4 = 25,583,325.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,583,325.25 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 | 102,333,301 | |
| -1 | 102,333,301 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 53 | 101 | 371 | 707 | 2,731 | 5,353 | 19,117 | 37,471 | 144,743 | 275,831 | 1,013,201 | 1,930,817 | 14,619,043 | 102,333,301 |
| -1 | -7 | -53 | -101 | -371 | -707 | -2,731 | -5,353 | -19,117 | -37,471 | -144,743 | -275,831 | -1,013,201 | -1,930,817 | -14,619,043 | -102,333,301 |
