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 133,526,353, 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 | 133,526,353 | |
| -1 | -133,526,353 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 133,526,353.
Example:
1 x 133,526,353 = 133,526,353
and
-1 x -133,526,353 = 133,526,353
Notice both answers equal 133,526,353
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 133,526,353 and divide it by 2:
133,526,353 ÷ 2 = 66,763,176.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 66,763,176.5 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 | 133,526,353 | |
| -1 | -133,526,353 |
Now, we try dividing 133,526,353 by 3:
133,526,353 ÷ 3 = 44,508,784.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 44,508,784.3333 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 | 133,526,353 | |
| -1 | -133,526,353 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
133,526,353 ÷ 4 = 33,381,588.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 33,381,588.25 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 | 133,526,353 | |
| -1 | 133,526,353 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 79 | 167 | 349 | 2,291 | 4,843 | 10,121 | 13,193 | 27,571 | 58,283 | 382,597 | 799,559 | 1,690,207 | 4,604,357 | 133,526,353 |
| -1 | -29 | -79 | -167 | -349 | -2,291 | -4,843 | -10,121 | -13,193 | -27,571 | -58,283 | -382,597 | -799,559 | -1,690,207 | -4,604,357 | -133,526,353 |
