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 140,225,333, 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 | 140,225,333 | |
| -1 | -140,225,333 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 140,225,333.
Example:
1 x 140,225,333 = 140,225,333
and
-1 x -140,225,333 = 140,225,333
Notice both answers equal 140,225,333
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 140,225,333 and divide it by 2:
140,225,333 ÷ 2 = 70,112,666.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 70,112,666.5 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 | 140,225,333 | |
| -1 | -140,225,333 |
Now, we try dividing 140,225,333 by 3:
140,225,333 ÷ 3 = 46,741,777.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 46,741,777.6667 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 | 140,225,333 | |
| -1 | -140,225,333 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
140,225,333 ÷ 4 = 35,056,333.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 35,056,333.25 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 | 140,225,333 | |
| -1 | 140,225,333 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 53 | 103 | 901 | 1,511 | 1,751 | 5,459 | 25,687 | 80,083 | 92,803 | 155,633 | 1,361,411 | 2,645,761 | 8,248,549 | 140,225,333 |
| -1 | -17 | -53 | -103 | -901 | -1,511 | -1,751 | -5,459 | -25,687 | -80,083 | -92,803 | -155,633 | -1,361,411 | -2,645,761 | -8,248,549 | -140,225,333 |
