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 133,446,023, 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 | 133,446,023 | |
| -1 | -133,446,023 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 133,446,023.
Example:
1 x 133,446,023 = 133,446,023
and
-1 x -133,446,023 = 133,446,023
Notice both answers equal 133,446,023
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 133,446,023 and divide it by 2:
133,446,023 ÷ 2 = 66,723,011.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 66,723,011.5 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 | 133,446,023 | |
| -1 | -133,446,023 |
Now, we try dividing 133,446,023 by 3:
133,446,023 ÷ 3 = 44,482,007.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 44,482,007.6667 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 | 133,446,023 | |
| -1 | -133,446,023 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
133,446,023 ÷ 4 = 33,361,505.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 33,361,505.75 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 | 133,446,023 | |
| -1 | 133,446,023 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 29 | 59 | 667 | 1,357 | 1,711 | 3,391 | 39,353 | 77,993 | 98,339 | 200,069 | 2,261,797 | 4,601,587 | 5,802,001 | 133,446,023 |
| -1 | -23 | -29 | -59 | -667 | -1,357 | -1,711 | -3,391 | -39,353 | -77,993 | -98,339 | -200,069 | -2,261,797 | -4,601,587 | -5,802,001 | -133,446,023 |
