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 134,214,133, 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 | 134,214,133 | |
| -1 | -134,214,133 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 134,214,133.
Example:
1 x 134,214,133 = 134,214,133
and
-1 x -134,214,133 = 134,214,133
Notice both answers equal 134,214,133
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 134,214,133 and divide it by 2:
134,214,133 ÷ 2 = 67,107,066.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 67,107,066.5 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 | 134,214,133 | |
| -1 | -134,214,133 |
Now, we try dividing 134,214,133 by 3:
134,214,133 ÷ 3 = 44,738,044.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 44,738,044.3333 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 | 134,214,133 | |
| -1 | -134,214,133 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
134,214,133 ÷ 4 = 33,553,533.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 33,553,533.25 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 | 134,214,133 | |
| -1 | 134,214,133 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 37 | 379 | 563 | 629 | 6,443 | 9,571 | 14,023 | 20,831 | 213,377 | 238,391 | 354,127 | 3,627,409 | 7,894,949 | 134,214,133 |
| -1 | -17 | -37 | -379 | -563 | -629 | -6,443 | -9,571 | -14,023 | -20,831 | -213,377 | -238,391 | -354,127 | -3,627,409 | -7,894,949 | -134,214,133 |
