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 136,034,723, 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 | 136,034,723 | |
| -1 | -136,034,723 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 136,034,723.
Example:
1 x 136,034,723 = 136,034,723
and
-1 x -136,034,723 = 136,034,723
Notice both answers equal 136,034,723
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 136,034,723 and divide it by 2:
136,034,723 ÷ 2 = 68,017,361.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 68,017,361.5 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 | 136,034,723 | |
| -1 | -136,034,723 |
Now, we try dividing 136,034,723 by 3:
136,034,723 ÷ 3 = 45,344,907.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 45,344,907.6667 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 | 136,034,723 | |
| -1 | -136,034,723 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
136,034,723 ÷ 4 = 34,008,680.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 34,008,680.75 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 | 136,034,723 | |
| -1 | 136,034,723 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 67 | 131 | 737 | 1,409 | 1,441 | 8,777 | 15,499 | 94,403 | 96,547 | 184,579 | 1,038,433 | 2,030,369 | 12,366,793 | 136,034,723 |
| -1 | -11 | -67 | -131 | -737 | -1,409 | -1,441 | -8,777 | -15,499 | -94,403 | -96,547 | -184,579 | -1,038,433 | -2,030,369 | -12,366,793 | -136,034,723 |
