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 103,453,427, 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 | 103,453,427 | |
| -1 | -103,453,427 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 103,453,427.
Example:
1 x 103,453,427 = 103,453,427
and
-1 x -103,453,427 = 103,453,427
Notice both answers equal 103,453,427
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 103,453,427 and divide it by 2:
103,453,427 ÷ 2 = 51,726,713.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 51,726,713.5 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 | 103,453,427 | |
| -1 | -103,453,427 |
Now, we try dividing 103,453,427 by 3:
103,453,427 ÷ 3 = 34,484,475.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 34,484,475.6667 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 | 103,453,427 | |
| -1 | -103,453,427 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
103,453,427 ÷ 4 = 25,863,356.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,863,356.75 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 | 103,453,427 | |
| -1 | 103,453,427 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 67 | 77 | 121 | 469 | 737 | 847 | 1,823 | 5,159 | 8,107 | 12,761 | 20,053 | 56,749 | 122,141 | 140,371 | 220,583 | 854,987 | 1,343,551 | 1,544,081 | 9,404,857 | 14,779,061 | 103,453,427 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -67 | -77 | -121 | -469 | -737 | -847 | -1,823 | -5,159 | -8,107 | -12,761 | -20,053 | -56,749 | -122,141 | -140,371 | -220,583 | -854,987 | -1,343,551 | -1,544,081 | -9,404,857 | -14,779,061 | -103,453,427 |
