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 134,441,657, 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 | 134,441,657 | |
| -1 | -134,441,657 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 134,441,657.
Example:
1 x 134,441,657 = 134,441,657
and
-1 x -134,441,657 = 134,441,657
Notice both answers equal 134,441,657
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 134,441,657 and divide it by 2:
134,441,657 ÷ 2 = 67,220,828.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 67,220,828.5 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 | 134,441,657 | |
| -1 | -134,441,657 |
Now, we try dividing 134,441,657 by 3:
134,441,657 ÷ 3 = 44,813,885.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 44,813,885.6667 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 | 134,441,657 | |
| -1 | -134,441,657 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
134,441,657 ÷ 4 = 33,610,414.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 33,610,414.25 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 | 134,441,657 | |
| -1 | 134,441,657 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 83 | 149 | 581 | 1,043 | 1,553 | 10,871 | 12,367 | 86,569 | 128,899 | 231,397 | 902,293 | 1,619,779 | 19,205,951 | 134,441,657 |
| -1 | -7 | -83 | -149 | -581 | -1,043 | -1,553 | -10,871 | -12,367 | -86,569 | -128,899 | -231,397 | -902,293 | -1,619,779 | -19,205,951 | -134,441,657 |
