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 125,042,333, 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 | 125,042,333 | |
| -1 | -125,042,333 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 125,042,333.
Example:
1 x 125,042,333 = 125,042,333
and
-1 x -125,042,333 = 125,042,333
Notice both answers equal 125,042,333
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 125,042,333 and divide it by 2:
125,042,333 ÷ 2 = 62,521,166.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 62,521,166.5 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 | 125,042,333 | |
| -1 | -125,042,333 |
Now, we try dividing 125,042,333 by 3:
125,042,333 ÷ 3 = 41,680,777.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 41,680,777.6667 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 | 125,042,333 | |
| -1 | -125,042,333 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
125,042,333 ÷ 4 = 31,260,583.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 31,260,583.25 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 | 125,042,333 | |
| -1 | 125,042,333 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 41 | 379 | 533 | 619 | 4,927 | 8,047 | 15,539 | 25,379 | 202,007 | 234,601 | 329,927 | 3,049,813 | 9,618,641 | 125,042,333 |
| -1 | -13 | -41 | -379 | -533 | -619 | -4,927 | -8,047 | -15,539 | -25,379 | -202,007 | -234,601 | -329,927 | -3,049,813 | -9,618,641 | -125,042,333 |
