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 130,477,735, 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 | 130,477,735 | |
| -1 | -130,477,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 130,477,735.
Example:
1 x 130,477,735 = 130,477,735
and
-1 x -130,477,735 = 130,477,735
Notice both answers equal 130,477,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 130,477,735 and divide it by 2:
130,477,735 ÷ 2 = 65,238,867.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 65,238,867.5 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 | 130,477,735 | |
| -1 | -130,477,735 |
Now, we try dividing 130,477,735 by 3:
130,477,735 ÷ 3 = 43,492,578.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 43,492,578.3333 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 | 130,477,735 | |
| -1 | -130,477,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
130,477,735 ÷ 4 = 32,619,433.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 32,619,433.75 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 | 130,477,735 | |
| -1 | 130,477,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 115 | 811 | 1,399 | 4,055 | 6,995 | 18,653 | 32,177 | 93,265 | 160,885 | 1,134,589 | 5,672,945 | 26,095,547 | 130,477,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -115 | -811 | -1,399 | -4,055 | -6,995 | -18,653 | -32,177 | -93,265 | -160,885 | -1,134,589 | -5,672,945 | -26,095,547 | -130,477,735 |
