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 119,573,195, 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 | 119,573,195 | |
| -1 | -119,573,195 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 119,573,195.
Example:
1 x 119,573,195 = 119,573,195
and
-1 x -119,573,195 = 119,573,195
Notice both answers equal 119,573,195
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 119,573,195 and divide it by 2:
119,573,195 ÷ 2 = 59,786,597.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 59,786,597.5 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 | 119,573,195 | |
| -1 | -119,573,195 |
Now, we try dividing 119,573,195 by 3:
119,573,195 ÷ 3 = 39,857,731.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 39,857,731.6667 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 | 119,573,195 | |
| -1 | -119,573,195 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
119,573,195 ÷ 4 = 29,893,298.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 29,893,298.75 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 | 119,573,195 | |
| -1 | 119,573,195 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 409 | 2,045 | 2,863 | 8,353 | 14,315 | 41,765 | 58,471 | 292,355 | 3,416,377 | 17,081,885 | 23,914,639 | 119,573,195 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -409 | -2,045 | -2,863 | -8,353 | -14,315 | -41,765 | -58,471 | -292,355 | -3,416,377 | -17,081,885 | -23,914,639 | -119,573,195 |
