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 134,351,399, 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 | 134,351,399 | |
| -1 | -134,351,399 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 134,351,399.
Example:
1 x 134,351,399 = 134,351,399
and
-1 x -134,351,399 = 134,351,399
Notice both answers equal 134,351,399
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 134,351,399 and divide it by 2:
134,351,399 ÷ 2 = 67,175,699.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 67,175,699.5 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 | 134,351,399 | |
| -1 | -134,351,399 |
Now, we try dividing 134,351,399 by 3:
134,351,399 ÷ 3 = 44,783,799.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 44,783,799.6667 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 | 134,351,399 | |
| -1 | -134,351,399 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
134,351,399 ÷ 4 = 33,587,849.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 33,587,849.75 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 | 134,351,399 | |
| -1 | 134,351,399 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 541 | 2,729 | 3,787 | 7,033 | 19,103 | 35,477 | 49,231 | 248,339 | 1,476,389 | 10,334,723 | 19,193,057 | 134,351,399 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -541 | -2,729 | -3,787 | -7,033 | -19,103 | -35,477 | -49,231 | -248,339 | -1,476,389 | -10,334,723 | -19,193,057 | -134,351,399 |
