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 121,034,765, 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 | 121,034,765 | |
| -1 | -121,034,765 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 121,034,765.
Example:
1 x 121,034,765 = 121,034,765
and
-1 x -121,034,765 = 121,034,765
Notice both answers equal 121,034,765
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 121,034,765 and divide it by 2:
121,034,765 ÷ 2 = 60,517,382.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 60,517,382.5 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 | 121,034,765 | |
| -1 | -121,034,765 |
Now, we try dividing 121,034,765 by 3:
121,034,765 ÷ 3 = 40,344,921.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 40,344,921.6667 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 | 121,034,765 | |
| -1 | -121,034,765 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
121,034,765 ÷ 4 = 30,258,691.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 30,258,691.25 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 | 121,034,765 | |
| -1 | 121,034,765 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 71 | 355 | 367 | 929 | 1,835 | 4,645 | 26,057 | 65,959 | 130,285 | 329,795 | 340,943 | 1,704,715 | 24,206,953 | 121,034,765 |
| -1 | -5 | -71 | -355 | -367 | -929 | -1,835 | -4,645 | -26,057 | -65,959 | -130,285 | -329,795 | -340,943 | -1,704,715 | -24,206,953 | -121,034,765 |
