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 135,551,225, 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 | 135,551,225 | |
| -1 | -135,551,225 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 135,551,225.
Example:
1 x 135,551,225 = 135,551,225
and
-1 x -135,551,225 = 135,551,225
Notice both answers equal 135,551,225
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 135,551,225 and divide it by 2:
135,551,225 ÷ 2 = 67,775,612.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 67,775,612.5 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 | 135,551,225 | |
| -1 | -135,551,225 |
Now, we try dividing 135,551,225 by 3:
135,551,225 ÷ 3 = 45,183,741.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 45,183,741.6667 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 | 135,551,225 | |
| -1 | -135,551,225 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
135,551,225 ÷ 4 = 33,887,806.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 33,887,806.25 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 | 135,551,225 | |
| -1 | 135,551,225 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 25 | 95 | 137 | 475 | 685 | 2,083 | 2,603 | 3,425 | 10,415 | 13,015 | 39,577 | 52,075 | 65,075 | 197,885 | 285,371 | 989,425 | 1,426,855 | 5,422,049 | 7,134,275 | 27,110,245 | 135,551,225 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -25 | -95 | -137 | -475 | -685 | -2,083 | -2,603 | -3,425 | -10,415 | -13,015 | -39,577 | -52,075 | -65,075 | -197,885 | -285,371 | -989,425 | -1,426,855 | -5,422,049 | -7,134,275 | -27,110,245 | -135,551,225 |
