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 137,183,695, 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 | 137,183,695 | |
| -1 | -137,183,695 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 137,183,695.
Example:
1 x 137,183,695 = 137,183,695
and
-1 x -137,183,695 = 137,183,695
Notice both answers equal 137,183,695
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 137,183,695 and divide it by 2:
137,183,695 ÷ 2 = 68,591,847.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 68,591,847.5 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 | 137,183,695 | |
| -1 | -137,183,695 |
Now, we try dividing 137,183,695 by 3:
137,183,695 ÷ 3 = 45,727,898.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 45,727,898.3333 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 | 137,183,695 | |
| -1 | -137,183,695 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
137,183,695 ÷ 4 = 34,295,923.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 34,295,923.75 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 | 137,183,695 | |
| -1 | 137,183,695 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 113 | 565 | 1,243 | 6,215 | 22,073 | 110,365 | 242,803 | 1,214,015 | 2,494,249 | 12,471,245 | 27,436,739 | 137,183,695 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -113 | -565 | -1,243 | -6,215 | -22,073 | -110,365 | -242,803 | -1,214,015 | -2,494,249 | -12,471,245 | -27,436,739 | -137,183,695 |
