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 135,662,351, 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 | 135,662,351 | |
| -1 | -135,662,351 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 135,662,351.
Example:
1 x 135,662,351 = 135,662,351
and
-1 x -135,662,351 = 135,662,351
Notice both answers equal 135,662,351
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 135,662,351 and divide it by 2:
135,662,351 ÷ 2 = 67,831,175.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 67,831,175.5 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 | 135,662,351 | |
| -1 | -135,662,351 |
Now, we try dividing 135,662,351 by 3:
135,662,351 ÷ 3 = 45,220,783.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 45,220,783.6667 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 | 135,662,351 | |
| -1 | -135,662,351 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
135,662,351 ÷ 4 = 33,915,587.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 33,915,587.75 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 | 135,662,351 | |
| -1 | 135,662,351 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 47 | 53 | 517 | 583 | 2,491 | 4,951 | 27,401 | 54,461 | 232,697 | 262,403 | 2,559,667 | 2,886,433 | 12,332,941 | 135,662,351 |
| -1 | -11 | -47 | -53 | -517 | -583 | -2,491 | -4,951 | -27,401 | -54,461 | -232,697 | -262,403 | -2,559,667 | -2,886,433 | -12,332,941 | -135,662,351 |
