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 132,031,133, 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 | 132,031,133 | |
| -1 | -132,031,133 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 132,031,133.
Example:
1 x 132,031,133 = 132,031,133
and
-1 x -132,031,133 = 132,031,133
Notice both answers equal 132,031,133
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 132,031,133 and divide it by 2:
132,031,133 ÷ 2 = 66,015,566.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 66,015,566.5 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 | 132,031,133 | |
| -1 | -132,031,133 |
Now, we try dividing 132,031,133 by 3:
132,031,133 ÷ 3 = 44,010,377.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 44,010,377.6667 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 | 132,031,133 | |
| -1 | -132,031,133 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
132,031,133 ÷ 4 = 33,007,783.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 33,007,783.25 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 | 132,031,133 | |
| -1 | 132,031,133 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 19 | 37 | 247 | 481 | 703 | 9,139 | 14,447 | 187,811 | 274,493 | 534,539 | 3,568,409 | 6,949,007 | 10,156,241 | 132,031,133 |
| -1 | -13 | -19 | -37 | -247 | -481 | -703 | -9,139 | -14,447 | -187,811 | -274,493 | -534,539 | -3,568,409 | -6,949,007 | -10,156,241 | -132,031,133 |
