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 132,077,153, 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 | 132,077,153 | |
| -1 | -132,077,153 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 132,077,153.
Example:
1 x 132,077,153 = 132,077,153
and
-1 x -132,077,153 = 132,077,153
Notice both answers equal 132,077,153
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 132,077,153 and divide it by 2:
132,077,153 ÷ 2 = 66,038,576.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 66,038,576.5 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 | 132,077,153 | |
| -1 | -132,077,153 |
Now, we try dividing 132,077,153 by 3:
132,077,153 ÷ 3 = 44,025,717.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 44,025,717.6667 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 | 132,077,153 | |
| -1 | -132,077,153 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
132,077,153 ÷ 4 = 33,019,288.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 33,019,288.25 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 | 132,077,153 | |
| -1 | 132,077,153 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 83 | 109 | 1,079 | 1,123 | 1,417 | 9,047 | 14,599 | 93,209 | 117,611 | 122,407 | 1,211,717 | 1,591,291 | 10,159,781 | 132,077,153 |
| -1 | -13 | -83 | -109 | -1,079 | -1,123 | -1,417 | -9,047 | -14,599 | -93,209 | -117,611 | -122,407 | -1,211,717 | -1,591,291 | -10,159,781 | -132,077,153 |
