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 125,333,255, 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 | 125,333,255 | |
| -1 | -125,333,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 125,333,255.
Example:
1 x 125,333,255 = 125,333,255
and
-1 x -125,333,255 = 125,333,255
Notice both answers equal 125,333,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 125,333,255 and divide it by 2:
125,333,255 ÷ 2 = 62,666,627.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 62,666,627.5 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 | 125,333,255 | |
| -1 | -125,333,255 |
Now, we try dividing 125,333,255 by 3:
125,333,255 ÷ 3 = 41,777,751.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 41,777,751.6667 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 | 125,333,255 | |
| -1 | -125,333,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
125,333,255 ÷ 4 = 31,333,313.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 31,333,313.75 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 | 125,333,255 | |
| -1 | 125,333,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 47 | 235 | 241 | 1,205 | 2,213 | 11,065 | 11,327 | 56,635 | 104,011 | 520,055 | 533,333 | 2,666,665 | 25,066,651 | 125,333,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -47 | -235 | -241 | -1,205 | -2,213 | -11,065 | -11,327 | -56,635 | -104,011 | -520,055 | -533,333 | -2,666,665 | -25,066,651 | -125,333,255 |
