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 132,226,445, 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 | 132,226,445 | |
| -1 | -132,226,445 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 132,226,445.
Example:
1 x 132,226,445 = 132,226,445
and
-1 x -132,226,445 = 132,226,445
Notice both answers equal 132,226,445
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 132,226,445 and divide it by 2:
132,226,445 ÷ 2 = 66,113,222.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 66,113,222.5 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 | 132,226,445 | |
| -1 | -132,226,445 |
Now, we try dividing 132,226,445 by 3:
132,226,445 ÷ 3 = 44,075,481.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 44,075,481.6667 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 | 132,226,445 | |
| -1 | -132,226,445 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
132,226,445 ÷ 4 = 33,056,611.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 33,056,611.25 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 | 132,226,445 | |
| -1 | 132,226,445 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 169 | 845 | 2,197 | 10,985 | 12,037 | 60,185 | 156,481 | 782,405 | 2,034,253 | 10,171,265 | 26,445,289 | 132,226,445 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -169 | -845 | -2,197 | -10,985 | -12,037 | -60,185 | -156,481 | -782,405 | -2,034,253 | -10,171,265 | -26,445,289 | -132,226,445 |
