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 127,108,423, 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 | 127,108,423 | |
| -1 | -127,108,423 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 127,108,423.
Example:
1 x 127,108,423 = 127,108,423
and
-1 x -127,108,423 = 127,108,423
Notice both answers equal 127,108,423
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 127,108,423 and divide it by 2:
127,108,423 ÷ 2 = 63,554,211.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 63,554,211.5 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 | 127,108,423 | |
| -1 | -127,108,423 |
Now, we try dividing 127,108,423 by 3:
127,108,423 ÷ 3 = 42,369,474.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 42,369,474.3333 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 | 127,108,423 | |
| -1 | -127,108,423 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
127,108,423 ÷ 4 = 31,777,105.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 31,777,105.75 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 | 127,108,423 | |
| -1 | 127,108,423 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 19 | 227 | 247 | 2,267 | 2,951 | 4,313 | 29,471 | 43,073 | 56,069 | 514,609 | 559,949 | 6,689,917 | 9,777,571 | 127,108,423 |
| -1 | -13 | -19 | -227 | -247 | -2,267 | -2,951 | -4,313 | -29,471 | -43,073 | -56,069 | -514,609 | -559,949 | -6,689,917 | -9,777,571 | -127,108,423 |
