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 134,740,601, 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 | 134,740,601 | |
| -1 | -134,740,601 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 134,740,601.
Example:
1 x 134,740,601 = 134,740,601
and
-1 x -134,740,601 = 134,740,601
Notice both answers equal 134,740,601
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 134,740,601 and divide it by 2:
134,740,601 ÷ 2 = 67,370,300.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 67,370,300.5 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 | 134,740,601 | |
| -1 | -134,740,601 |
Now, we try dividing 134,740,601 by 3:
134,740,601 ÷ 3 = 44,913,533.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 44,913,533.6667 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 | 134,740,601 | |
| -1 | -134,740,601 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
134,740,601 ÷ 4 = 33,685,150.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 33,685,150.25 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 | 134,740,601 | |
| -1 | 134,740,601 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 31 | 59 | 713 | 1,357 | 1,829 | 3,203 | 42,067 | 73,669 | 99,293 | 188,977 | 2,283,739 | 4,346,471 | 5,858,287 | 134,740,601 |
| -1 | -23 | -31 | -59 | -713 | -1,357 | -1,829 | -3,203 | -42,067 | -73,669 | -99,293 | -188,977 | -2,283,739 | -4,346,471 | -5,858,287 | -134,740,601 |
