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 103,001,113, 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 | 103,001,113 | |
| -1 | -103,001,113 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 103,001,113.
Example:
1 x 103,001,113 = 103,001,113
and
-1 x -103,001,113 = 103,001,113
Notice both answers equal 103,001,113
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 103,001,113 and divide it by 2:
103,001,113 ÷ 2 = 51,500,556.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 51,500,556.5 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 | 103,001,113 | |
| -1 | -103,001,113 |
Now, we try dividing 103,001,113 by 3:
103,001,113 ÷ 3 = 34,333,704.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,333,704.3333 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 | 103,001,113 | |
| -1 | -103,001,113 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
103,001,113 ÷ 4 = 25,750,278.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,750,278.25 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 | 103,001,113 | |
| -1 | 103,001,113 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 101 | 239 | 251 | 1,717 | 4,063 | 4,267 | 24,139 | 25,351 | 59,989 | 410,363 | 430,967 | 1,019,813 | 6,058,889 | 103,001,113 |
| -1 | -17 | -101 | -239 | -251 | -1,717 | -4,063 | -4,267 | -24,139 | -25,351 | -59,989 | -410,363 | -430,967 | -1,019,813 | -6,058,889 | -103,001,113 |
