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 48,101,105, 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 | 48,101,105 | |
| -1 | -48,101,105 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 48,101,105.
Example:
1 x 48,101,105 = 48,101,105
and
-1 x -48,101,105 = 48,101,105
Notice both answers equal 48,101,105
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 48,101,105 and divide it by 2:
48,101,105 ÷ 2 = 24,050,552.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 24,050,552.5 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 | 48,101,105 | |
| -1 | -48,101,105 |
Now, we try dividing 48,101,105 by 3:
48,101,105 ÷ 3 = 16,033,701.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,033,701.6667 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 | 48,101,105 | |
| -1 | -48,101,105 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
48,101,105 ÷ 4 = 12,025,276.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,025,276.25 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 | 48,101,105 | |
| -1 | 48,101,105 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 499 | 1,483 | 2,495 | 6,487 | 7,415 | 19,279 | 32,435 | 96,395 | 740,017 | 3,700,085 | 9,620,221 | 48,101,105 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -499 | -1,483 | -2,495 | -6,487 | -7,415 | -19,279 | -32,435 | -96,395 | -740,017 | -3,700,085 | -9,620,221 | -48,101,105 |
