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 134,636,135, 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 | 134,636,135 | |
| -1 | -134,636,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 134,636,135.
Example:
1 x 134,636,135 = 134,636,135
and
-1 x -134,636,135 = 134,636,135
Notice both answers equal 134,636,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 134,636,135 and divide it by 2:
134,636,135 ÷ 2 = 67,318,067.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 67,318,067.5 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 | 134,636,135 | |
| -1 | -134,636,135 |
Now, we try dividing 134,636,135 by 3:
134,636,135 ÷ 3 = 44,878,711.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 44,878,711.6667 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 | 134,636,135 | |
| -1 | -134,636,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
134,636,135 ÷ 4 = 33,659,033.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 33,659,033.75 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 | 134,636,135 | |
| -1 | 134,636,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 115 | 157 | 785 | 3,611 | 7,457 | 18,055 | 37,285 | 171,511 | 857,555 | 1,170,749 | 5,853,745 | 26,927,227 | 134,636,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -115 | -157 | -785 | -3,611 | -7,457 | -18,055 | -37,285 | -171,511 | -857,555 | -1,170,749 | -5,853,745 | -26,927,227 | -134,636,135 |
