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 140,734,765, 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 | 140,734,765 | |
| -1 | -140,734,765 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 140,734,765.
Example:
1 x 140,734,765 = 140,734,765
and
-1 x -140,734,765 = 140,734,765
Notice both answers equal 140,734,765
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 140,734,765 and divide it by 2:
140,734,765 ÷ 2 = 70,367,382.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 70,367,382.5 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 | 140,734,765 | |
| -1 | -140,734,765 |
Now, we try dividing 140,734,765 by 3:
140,734,765 ÷ 3 = 46,911,588.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 46,911,588.3333 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 | 140,734,765 | |
| -1 | -140,734,765 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
140,734,765 ÷ 4 = 35,183,691.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 35,183,691.25 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 | 140,734,765 | |
| -1 | 140,734,765 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 59 | 295 | 373 | 1,279 | 1,865 | 6,395 | 22,007 | 75,461 | 110,035 | 377,305 | 477,067 | 2,385,335 | 28,146,953 | 140,734,765 |
| -1 | -5 | -59 | -295 | -373 | -1,279 | -1,865 | -6,395 | -22,007 | -75,461 | -110,035 | -377,305 | -477,067 | -2,385,335 | -28,146,953 | -140,734,765 |
