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 103,134,395, 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 | 103,134,395 | |
| -1 | -103,134,395 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 103,134,395.
Example:
1 x 103,134,395 = 103,134,395
and
-1 x -103,134,395 = 103,134,395
Notice both answers equal 103,134,395
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 103,134,395 and divide it by 2:
103,134,395 ÷ 2 = 51,567,197.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 51,567,197.5 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 | 103,134,395 | |
| -1 | -103,134,395 |
Now, we try dividing 103,134,395 by 3:
103,134,395 ÷ 3 = 34,378,131.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,378,131.6667 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 | 103,134,395 | |
| -1 | -103,134,395 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
103,134,395 ÷ 4 = 25,783,598.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,783,598.75 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 | 103,134,395 | |
| -1 | 103,134,395 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 13 | 35 | 65 | 91 | 455 | 226,669 | 1,133,345 | 1,586,683 | 2,946,697 | 7,933,415 | 14,733,485 | 20,626,879 | 103,134,395 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -13 | -35 | -65 | -91 | -455 | -226,669 | -1,133,345 | -1,586,683 | -2,946,697 | -7,933,415 | -14,733,485 | -20,626,879 | -103,134,395 |
