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 141,010,135, 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 | 141,010,135 | |
| -1 | -141,010,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 141,010,135.
Example:
1 x 141,010,135 = 141,010,135
and
-1 x -141,010,135 = 141,010,135
Notice both answers equal 141,010,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 141,010,135 and divide it by 2:
141,010,135 ÷ 2 = 70,505,067.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 70,505,067.5 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 | 141,010,135 | |
| -1 | -141,010,135 |
Now, we try dividing 141,010,135 by 3:
141,010,135 ÷ 3 = 47,003,378.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 47,003,378.3333 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 | 141,010,135 | |
| -1 | -141,010,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
141,010,135 ÷ 4 = 35,252,533.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 35,252,533.75 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 | 141,010,135 | |
| -1 | 141,010,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 1,721 | 2,341 | 8,605 | 11,705 | 12,047 | 16,387 | 60,235 | 81,935 | 4,028,861 | 20,144,305 | 28,202,027 | 141,010,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -1,721 | -2,341 | -8,605 | -11,705 | -12,047 | -16,387 | -60,235 | -81,935 | -4,028,861 | -20,144,305 | -28,202,027 | -141,010,135 |
