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 132,315,335, 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 | 132,315,335 | |
| -1 | -132,315,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 132,315,335.
Example:
1 x 132,315,335 = 132,315,335
and
-1 x -132,315,335 = 132,315,335
Notice both answers equal 132,315,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 132,315,335 and divide it by 2:
132,315,335 ÷ 2 = 66,157,667.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 66,157,667.5 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 | 132,315,335 | |
| -1 | -132,315,335 |
Now, we try dividing 132,315,335 by 3:
132,315,335 ÷ 3 = 44,105,111.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 44,105,111.6667 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 | 132,315,335 | |
| -1 | -132,315,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
132,315,335 ÷ 4 = 33,078,833.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 33,078,833.75 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 | 132,315,335 | |
| -1 | 132,315,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 19 | 85 | 95 | 323 | 1,615 | 81,929 | 409,645 | 1,392,793 | 1,556,651 | 6,963,965 | 7,783,255 | 26,463,067 | 132,315,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -19 | -85 | -95 | -323 | -1,615 | -81,929 | -409,645 | -1,392,793 | -1,556,651 | -6,963,965 | -7,783,255 | -26,463,067 | -132,315,335 |
