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 102,452,441, 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 | 102,452,441 | |
| -1 | -102,452,441 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 102,452,441.
Example:
1 x 102,452,441 = 102,452,441
and
-1 x -102,452,441 = 102,452,441
Notice both answers equal 102,452,441
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 102,452,441 and divide it by 2:
102,452,441 ÷ 2 = 51,226,220.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 51,226,220.5 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 | 102,452,441 | |
| -1 | -102,452,441 |
Now, we try dividing 102,452,441 by 3:
102,452,441 ÷ 3 = 34,150,813.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,150,813.6667 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 | 102,452,441 | |
| -1 | -102,452,441 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
102,452,441 ÷ 4 = 25,613,110.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,613,110.25 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 | 102,452,441 | |
| -1 | 102,452,441 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 677 | 1,663 | 4,739 | 8,801 | 11,641 | 21,619 | 61,607 | 151,333 | 1,125,851 | 7,880,957 | 14,636,063 | 102,452,441 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -677 | -1,663 | -4,739 | -8,801 | -11,641 | -21,619 | -61,607 | -151,333 | -1,125,851 | -7,880,957 | -14,636,063 | -102,452,441 |
