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 136,752,835, 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 | 136,752,835 | |
| -1 | -136,752,835 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 136,752,835.
Example:
1 x 136,752,835 = 136,752,835
and
-1 x -136,752,835 = 136,752,835
Notice both answers equal 136,752,835
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 136,752,835 and divide it by 2:
136,752,835 ÷ 2 = 68,376,417.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 68,376,417.5 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 | 136,752,835 | |
| -1 | -136,752,835 |
Now, we try dividing 136,752,835 by 3:
136,752,835 ÷ 3 = 45,584,278.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 45,584,278.3333 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 | 136,752,835 | |
| -1 | -136,752,835 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
136,752,835 ÷ 4 = 34,188,208.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 34,188,208.75 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 | 136,752,835 | |
| -1 | 136,752,835 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 41 | 145 | 205 | 1,189 | 5,945 | 23,003 | 115,015 | 667,087 | 943,123 | 3,335,435 | 4,715,615 | 27,350,567 | 136,752,835 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -41 | -145 | -205 | -1,189 | -5,945 | -23,003 | -115,015 | -667,087 | -943,123 | -3,335,435 | -4,715,615 | -27,350,567 | -136,752,835 |
