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 132,054,455, 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 | 132,054,455 | |
| -1 | -132,054,455 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 132,054,455.
Example:
1 x 132,054,455 = 132,054,455
and
-1 x -132,054,455 = 132,054,455
Notice both answers equal 132,054,455
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 132,054,455 and divide it by 2:
132,054,455 ÷ 2 = 66,027,227.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 66,027,227.5 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 | 132,054,455 | |
| -1 | -132,054,455 |
Now, we try dividing 132,054,455 by 3:
132,054,455 ÷ 3 = 44,018,151.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 44,018,151.6667 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 | 132,054,455 | |
| -1 | -132,054,455 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
132,054,455 ÷ 4 = 33,013,613.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 33,013,613.75 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 | 132,054,455 | |
| -1 | 132,054,455 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 587 | 2,935 | 3,461 | 7,631 | 17,305 | 38,155 | 44,993 | 224,965 | 2,031,607 | 10,158,035 | 26,410,891 | 132,054,455 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -587 | -2,935 | -3,461 | -7,631 | -17,305 | -38,155 | -44,993 | -224,965 | -2,031,607 | -10,158,035 | -26,410,891 | -132,054,455 |
