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 132,273,625, 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 | 132,273,625 | |
| -1 | -132,273,625 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 132,273,625.
Example:
1 x 132,273,625 = 132,273,625
and
-1 x -132,273,625 = 132,273,625
Notice both answers equal 132,273,625
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 132,273,625 and divide it by 2:
132,273,625 ÷ 2 = 66,136,812.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 66,136,812.5 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 | 132,273,625 | |
| -1 | -132,273,625 |
Now, we try dividing 132,273,625 by 3:
132,273,625 ÷ 3 = 44,091,208.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 44,091,208.3333 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 | 132,273,625 | |
| -1 | -132,273,625 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
132,273,625 ÷ 4 = 33,068,406.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 33,068,406.25 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 | 132,273,625 | |
| -1 | 132,273,625 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 125 | 275 | 1,375 | 96,199 | 480,995 | 1,058,189 | 2,404,975 | 5,290,945 | 12,024,875 | 26,454,725 | 132,273,625 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -125 | -275 | -1,375 | -96,199 | -480,995 | -1,058,189 | -2,404,975 | -5,290,945 | -12,024,875 | -26,454,725 | -132,273,625 |
