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 132,004,345, 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 | 132,004,345 | |
| -1 | -132,004,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 132,004,345.
Example:
1 x 132,004,345 = 132,004,345
and
-1 x -132,004,345 = 132,004,345
Notice both answers equal 132,004,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 132,004,345 and divide it by 2:
132,004,345 ÷ 2 = 66,002,172.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 66,002,172.5 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 | 132,004,345 | |
| -1 | -132,004,345 |
Now, we try dividing 132,004,345 by 3:
132,004,345 ÷ 3 = 44,001,448.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 44,001,448.3333 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 | 132,004,345 | |
| -1 | -132,004,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
132,004,345 ÷ 4 = 33,001,086.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 33,001,086.25 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 | 132,004,345 | |
| -1 | 132,004,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 37 | 55 | 121 | 185 | 407 | 605 | 2,035 | 4,477 | 5,897 | 22,385 | 29,485 | 64,867 | 218,189 | 324,335 | 713,537 | 1,090,945 | 2,400,079 | 3,567,685 | 12,000,395 | 26,400,869 | 132,004,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -37 | -55 | -121 | -185 | -407 | -605 | -2,035 | -4,477 | -5,897 | -22,385 | -29,485 | -64,867 | -218,189 | -324,335 | -713,537 | -1,090,945 | -2,400,079 | -3,567,685 | -12,000,395 | -26,400,869 | -132,004,345 |
