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 102,344,113, 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 | 102,344,113 | |
| -1 | -102,344,113 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 102,344,113.
Example:
1 x 102,344,113 = 102,344,113
and
-1 x -102,344,113 = 102,344,113
Notice both answers equal 102,344,113
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 102,344,113 and divide it by 2:
102,344,113 ÷ 2 = 51,172,056.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 51,172,056.5 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 | 102,344,113 | |
| -1 | -102,344,113 |
Now, we try dividing 102,344,113 by 3:
102,344,113 ÷ 3 = 34,114,704.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,114,704.3333 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 | 102,344,113 | |
| -1 | -102,344,113 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
102,344,113 ÷ 4 = 25,586,028.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,586,028.25 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 | 102,344,113 | |
| -1 | 102,344,113 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 31 | 53 | 167 | 373 | 1,643 | 5,177 | 8,851 | 11,563 | 19,769 | 62,291 | 274,381 | 612,839 | 1,931,021 | 3,301,423 | 102,344,113 |
| -1 | -31 | -53 | -167 | -373 | -1,643 | -5,177 | -8,851 | -11,563 | -19,769 | -62,291 | -274,381 | -612,839 | -1,931,021 | -3,301,423 | -102,344,113 |
