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 133,344,343, 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 | 133,344,343 | |
| -1 | -133,344,343 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 133,344,343.
Example:
1 x 133,344,343 = 133,344,343
and
-1 x -133,344,343 = 133,344,343
Notice both answers equal 133,344,343
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 133,344,343 and divide it by 2:
133,344,343 ÷ 2 = 66,672,171.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 66,672,171.5 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 | 133,344,343 | |
| -1 | -133,344,343 |
Now, we try dividing 133,344,343 by 3:
133,344,343 ÷ 3 = 44,448,114.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 44,448,114.3333 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 | 133,344,343 | |
| -1 | -133,344,343 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
133,344,343 ÷ 4 = 33,336,085.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 33,336,085.75 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 | 133,344,343 | |
| -1 | 133,344,343 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 53 | 331 | 583 | 691 | 3,641 | 7,601 | 17,543 | 36,623 | 192,973 | 228,721 | 402,853 | 2,515,931 | 12,122,213 | 133,344,343 |
| -1 | -11 | -53 | -331 | -583 | -691 | -3,641 | -7,601 | -17,543 | -36,623 | -192,973 | -228,721 | -402,853 | -2,515,931 | -12,122,213 | -133,344,343 |
