\begin{document}

\begin{tcblisting}{title=Column Factorization,sidebyside, listing and comment,righthand ratio=0.35,

$\begin{array}{r|r}
1.500 & 2 \\

25 & 5 \\

\end{array} \quad \boxed{1.500 = 2^2 \cdot 3 \cdot 5^3}$
}}
To solve the exercise we use the method of decomposition into column.

$\begin{array}{r|r}
1.500 & 2 \\
750 & 2 \\
375 & 3 \\
125 & 5 \\
25 & 5 \\
5 & 5 \\
1
\end{array} \quad \boxed{1.500 = 2^2 \cdot 3 \cdot 5^3}$

\begin{tcblisting}{title=Find GCD and LCD,sidebyside, listing and comment,righthand ratio=0.45,
comment={
\begin{align*}
12 = 4 \cdot 3 &= 2^2 \cdot 3 \\
8 &= 2^3
\end{align*}
\[
   \text{GCD}(12, 8) = \boxed4 \qquad \text{LCD}(12, 8) = 8 \cdot 3 = \boxed{24}
\]
}}
The numbers are small so to calculate GCD and LCM it is better to use the mental decomposition.

\begin{align*}
12 = 4 \cdot 3 &= 2^2 \cdot 3 \\
8 &= 2^3
\end{align*}
\[
   \text{GCD}(12, 8) = \boxed4 \qquad \text{LCD}(12, 8) = 8 \cdot 3 = \boxed{24}
\]
\end{tcblisting}

\draw (1)--(3);
\draw (2)--(4);
\draw (2)--(5);
\end{tikzpicture}

The tree diagram shows the order of the operations and the numbers involved.

\begin{tikzpicture}
\node[circle,draw,fill=orange!40!white,minimum size=0.7cm] (1) at  (10,10) {+};
\node[circle,draw,fill=orange!40!white,minimum size=0.7cm] (2) at  (9,9) {-};

\draw (1)--(3);
\draw (2)--(4);
\draw (2)--(5);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tcblisting}

Since I have to write a lot of tcolorboxes (in particular, tcblisting in order to obtain the Side-by-side source and output effect shown here), it would be nice if there would be a way to automatically adjust the width of the right-hand part, so that I won't have to manually adjust it every time.

I tried with the option hbox as suggested here, but it adjusts the width of both the left and right parts.

I also tried with righthand width=\linewidth but it doesn't work since \linewidth is the totat width of the page.

So the requirements are:

Have an environment (tcblisting or similar) which let me display on one side the source code+other text and on the other side the output of the source code only, ie not of the "other text";
Output is math and tikz, so environments like equation, align, \[ \], array, $ ... $ and similar have to be supported;
The width of the output side (which usually is the right-hand side) have to be automatically adjusted, so that it is not necessary to place righthand ratio=... every time.

You can use tcbsidebyside from the xparse library with sidebyside adapt option.

% \tcbuselibrary{xparse} % in preamble
\tcbsidebyside[sidebyside adapt=right]{<left-hand content>}{<right-hand content>}

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[most]{tcolorbox}
\tcbuselibrary{xparse}
\begin{document}

\tcbsidebyside[sidebyside adapt=right,]{
This is not a test This is not a test This is not a test This is not a test This is not a test This is not a test This is not a test
}{
\rule{1cm}{1cm}
}

\tcbsidebyside[sidebyside adapt=right,]{
This is not a test This is not a test This is not a test This is not a test This is not a test This is not a test This is not a test
}{
\rule{4cm}{4cm}
}

\end{document}

To get 'side-by-side source and output effect'.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tcolorbox}
\tcbuselibrary{listings,xparse,skins}

\newsavebox\mysavebox
\DeclareTotalTColorBox{\mysidebox}{ O{} +m}{
sidebyside,
code={\sbox{\mysavebox}{#2}},righthand width=\wd\mysavebox,#1}{\scantokens{\begin{tcblisting}{listing only,blankest}
#2
\end{tcblisting}}\tcblower\usebox{\mysavebox}}


\begin{document}
\mysidebox[]{%
This is \LaTeX%
}

\mysidebox{%
$$a=b$$
}

\mysidebox[title=The Triangle]{%
\begin{tikzpicture}
\path[fill=red!20,draw=red!50!black]
    (0,0) node[below]{A} -- (3,1) node[right]{B} -- (1,4) node[above]{C} -- cycle;
\end{tikzpicture}%
}

[Tex/LaTex] How to define the default vertical distance between nodes

I don't really get the question so I hope this is what you wanted. If you include a full document (such that we copy paste and see the problem on our systems) things are much more easier.

Here, you can change the default setting within a scope but your block style had a node distance which was resetting every time it is issued. I've made it 2mm such that we can see the difference easier.

\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows,shapes.geometric,positioning}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[decision/.style={diamond, draw, text width=4.5em, text badly centered, node distance=3.5cm, inner sep=0pt},
                    block/.style   ={rectangle, draw, text width=6em, text centered, rounded corners, minimum height=4em, minimum height=2em},
                    cloud/.style   ={draw, ellipse, minimum height=2em},
                    line/.style    ={draw,-latex'},
                    node distance = 1cm, 
                    auto]
    \node [block] (1st) {1st};
    \node [block, right= of 1st]  (2nd1) {2nd1};
\begin{scope}[node distance=2mm and 10mm]%Here we change it for everything inside this scope
    \node [block, above= of 2nd1] (2nd2) {2nd2};
    \node [block, below= of 2nd1] (2nd3) {2nd3};
    \node [block, right= of 2nd1] (3rd1) {3rd1};
    \node [block, above= of 3rd1] (3rd2) {3rd2};
    \node [block, above= of 3rd2] (3rd3) {3rd3};
\end{scope}
    \node [block, below= of 3rd1] (3rd4) {3rd4};
    \node [block, below= of 3rd4] (3rd5) {3rd5};

    \path [line] (1st) -- (2nd1);
    \path [line] (2nd1) -- (2nd2);
    \path [line] (2nd1) -- (2nd3);
    \path [line] (2nd2) -- (3rd3);
    \path [line] (2nd1) -- (3rd1);
    \path [line] (1st) -- (2nd1);

[Tex/LaTex] Adjust width of tcolorbox to contains long Equation

Since the OP indicated that shrinking the font is acceptable, it can be done this way. First, you place the equation into a box. Then you scale/resize the box (requires graphicx package).

I have EDITED this answer to make the rescale automatic, if you pass the equation to the defined macro \fiteq{}. If the equation is larger than 85% of \textwidth, it will be shrunk to that size. For demonstration, both equations in this slide were passed through \fiteq. Only the first one was resized.

Une solution de l'EDS $E(b,\sigma)$  est un couple $(X,W)$ de processus adaptés sur un espace de probabilité filtré $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},\mathcal{F}_{t},\mathbb{P})$ qui satisfait les conditions usuelles, vérifiant :
\begin{itemize}
\item $W$ est un $\mathcal{F}_{t}$-mouvement brownien m-dimensionnel;
\item pour tout $t\geq 0$, on a les conditions de régularité 
\[
\fiteq{%
