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 124,133,303, 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 | 124,133,303 | |
| -1 | -124,133,303 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 124,133,303.
Example:
1 x 124,133,303 = 124,133,303
and
-1 x -124,133,303 = 124,133,303
Notice both answers equal 124,133,303
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 124,133,303 and divide it by 2:
124,133,303 ÷ 2 = 62,066,651.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 62,066,651.5 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 | 124,133,303 | |
| -1 | -124,133,303 |
Now, we try dividing 124,133,303 by 3:
124,133,303 ÷ 3 = 41,377,767.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 41,377,767.6667 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 | 124,133,303 | |
| -1 | -124,133,303 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
124,133,303 ÷ 4 = 31,033,325.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 31,033,325.75 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 | 124,133,303 | |
| -1 | 124,133,303 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 43 | 119 | 289 | 301 | 731 | 1,427 | 2,023 | 5,117 | 9,989 | 12,427 | 24,259 | 61,361 | 86,989 | 169,813 | 412,403 | 429,527 | 1,043,137 | 2,886,821 | 7,301,959 | 17,733,329 | 124,133,303 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -43 | -119 | -289 | -301 | -731 | -1,427 | -2,023 | -5,117 | -9,989 | -12,427 | -24,259 | -61,361 | -86,989 | -169,813 | -412,403 | -429,527 | -1,043,137 | -2,886,821 | -7,301,959 | -17,733,329 | -124,133,303 |
