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 132,441,205, 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 | 132,441,205 | |
| -1 | -132,441,205 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 132,441,205.
Example:
1 x 132,441,205 = 132,441,205
and
-1 x -132,441,205 = 132,441,205
Notice both answers equal 132,441,205
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 132,441,205 and divide it by 2:
132,441,205 ÷ 2 = 66,220,602.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 66,220,602.5 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 | 132,441,205 | |
| -1 | -132,441,205 |
Now, we try dividing 132,441,205 by 3:
132,441,205 ÷ 3 = 44,147,068.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 44,147,068.3333 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 | 132,441,205 | |
| -1 | -132,441,205 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
132,441,205 ÷ 4 = 33,110,301.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 33,110,301.25 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 | 132,441,205 | |
| -1 | 132,441,205 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 179 | 895 | 2,327 | 11,383 | 11,635 | 56,915 | 147,979 | 739,895 | 2,037,557 | 10,187,785 | 26,488,241 | 132,441,205 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -179 | -895 | -2,327 | -11,383 | -11,635 | -56,915 | -147,979 | -739,895 | -2,037,557 | -10,187,785 | -26,488,241 | -132,441,205 |
