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 136,441,337, 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 | 136,441,337 | |
| -1 | -136,441,337 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 136,441,337.
Example:
1 x 136,441,337 = 136,441,337
and
-1 x -136,441,337 = 136,441,337
Notice both answers equal 136,441,337
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 136,441,337 and divide it by 2:
136,441,337 ÷ 2 = 68,220,668.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 68,220,668.5 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 | 136,441,337 | |
| -1 | -136,441,337 |
Now, we try dividing 136,441,337 by 3:
136,441,337 ÷ 3 = 45,480,445.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 45,480,445.6667 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 | 136,441,337 | |
| -1 | -136,441,337 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
136,441,337 ÷ 4 = 34,110,334.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 34,110,334.25 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 | 136,441,337 | |
| -1 | 136,441,337 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 323 | 641 | 659 | 10,897 | 11,203 | 12,179 | 12,521 | 207,043 | 212,857 | 422,419 | 7,181,123 | 8,025,961 | 136,441,337 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -323 | -641 | -659 | -10,897 | -11,203 | -12,179 | -12,521 | -207,043 | -212,857 | -422,419 | -7,181,123 | -8,025,961 | -136,441,337 |
