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 132,224,435, 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 | 132,224,435 | |
| -1 | -132,224,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 132,224,435.
Example:
1 x 132,224,435 = 132,224,435
and
-1 x -132,224,435 = 132,224,435
Notice both answers equal 132,224,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 132,224,435 and divide it by 2:
132,224,435 ÷ 2 = 66,112,217.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 66,112,217.5 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 | 132,224,435 | |
| -1 | -132,224,435 |
Now, we try dividing 132,224,435 by 3:
132,224,435 ÷ 3 = 44,074,811.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 44,074,811.6667 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 | 132,224,435 | |
| -1 | -132,224,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
132,224,435 ÷ 4 = 33,056,108.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 33,056,108.75 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 | 132,224,435 | |
| -1 | 132,224,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 1,873 | 2,017 | 9,365 | 10,085 | 13,111 | 14,119 | 65,555 | 70,595 | 3,777,841 | 18,889,205 | 26,444,887 | 132,224,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -1,873 | -2,017 | -9,365 | -10,085 | -13,111 | -14,119 | -65,555 | -70,595 | -3,777,841 | -18,889,205 | -26,444,887 | -132,224,435 |
