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 134,357,597, 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 | 134,357,597 | |
| -1 | -134,357,597 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 134,357,597.
Example:
1 x 134,357,597 = 134,357,597
and
-1 x -134,357,597 = 134,357,597
Notice both answers equal 134,357,597
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 134,357,597 and divide it by 2:
134,357,597 ÷ 2 = 67,178,798.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 67,178,798.5 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 | 134,357,597 | |
| -1 | -134,357,597 |
Now, we try dividing 134,357,597 by 3:
134,357,597 ÷ 3 = 44,785,865.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 44,785,865.6667 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 | 134,357,597 | |
| -1 | -134,357,597 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
134,357,597 ÷ 4 = 33,589,399.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 33,589,399.25 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 | 134,357,597 | |
| -1 | 134,357,597 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 53 | 317 | 583 | 727 | 3,487 | 7,997 | 16,801 | 38,531 | 184,811 | 230,459 | 423,841 | 2,535,049 | 12,214,327 | 134,357,597 |
| -1 | -11 | -53 | -317 | -583 | -727 | -3,487 | -7,997 | -16,801 | -38,531 | -184,811 | -230,459 | -423,841 | -2,535,049 | -12,214,327 | -134,357,597 |
