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 103,273,733, 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 | 103,273,733 | |
| -1 | -103,273,733 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 103,273,733.
Example:
1 x 103,273,733 = 103,273,733
and
-1 x -103,273,733 = 103,273,733
Notice both answers equal 103,273,733
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 103,273,733 and divide it by 2:
103,273,733 ÷ 2 = 51,636,866.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 51,636,866.5 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 | 103,273,733 | |
| -1 | -103,273,733 |
Now, we try dividing 103,273,733 by 3:
103,273,733 ÷ 3 = 34,424,577.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,424,577.6667 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 | 103,273,733 | |
| -1 | -103,273,733 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
103,273,733 ÷ 4 = 25,818,433.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,818,433.25 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 | 103,273,733 | |
| -1 | 103,273,733 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 53 | 67 | 127 | 229 | 3,551 | 6,731 | 8,509 | 12,137 | 15,343 | 29,083 | 450,977 | 813,179 | 1,541,399 | 1,948,561 | 103,273,733 |
| -1 | -53 | -67 | -127 | -229 | -3,551 | -6,731 | -8,509 | -12,137 | -15,343 | -29,083 | -450,977 | -813,179 | -1,541,399 | -1,948,561 | -103,273,733 |
