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 141,010,705, 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 | 141,010,705 | |
| -1 | -141,010,705 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 141,010,705.
Example:
1 x 141,010,705 = 141,010,705
and
-1 x -141,010,705 = 141,010,705
Notice both answers equal 141,010,705
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 141,010,705 and divide it by 2:
141,010,705 ÷ 2 = 70,505,352.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 70,505,352.5 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 | 141,010,705 | |
| -1 | -141,010,705 |
Now, we try dividing 141,010,705 by 3:
141,010,705 ÷ 3 = 47,003,568.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 47,003,568.3333 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 | 141,010,705 | |
| -1 | -141,010,705 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
141,010,705 ÷ 4 = 35,252,676.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 35,252,676.25 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 | 141,010,705 | |
| -1 | 141,010,705 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 223 | 1,115 | 2,453 | 11,497 | 12,265 | 57,485 | 126,467 | 632,335 | 2,563,831 | 12,819,155 | 28,202,141 | 141,010,705 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -223 | -1,115 | -2,453 | -11,497 | -12,265 | -57,485 | -126,467 | -632,335 | -2,563,831 | -12,819,155 | -28,202,141 | -141,010,705 |
