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 125,960,939, 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 | 125,960,939 | |
| -1 | -125,960,939 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 125,960,939.
Example:
1 x 125,960,939 = 125,960,939
and
-1 x -125,960,939 = 125,960,939
Notice both answers equal 125,960,939
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 125,960,939 and divide it by 2:
125,960,939 ÷ 2 = 62,980,469.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 62,980,469.5 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 | 125,960,939 | |
| -1 | -125,960,939 |
Now, we try dividing 125,960,939 by 3:
125,960,939 ÷ 3 = 41,986,979.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 41,986,979.6667 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 | 125,960,939 | |
| -1 | -125,960,939 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
125,960,939 ÷ 4 = 31,490,234.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 31,490,234.75 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 | 125,960,939 | |
| -1 | 125,960,939 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 169 | 221 | 289 | 2,579 | 2,873 | 3,757 | 33,527 | 43,843 | 48,841 | 435,851 | 569,959 | 745,331 | 7,409,467 | 9,689,303 | 125,960,939 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -169 | -221 | -289 | -2,579 | -2,873 | -3,757 | -33,527 | -43,843 | -48,841 | -435,851 | -569,959 | -745,331 | -7,409,467 | -9,689,303 | -125,960,939 |
