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 141,105,041, 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 | 141,105,041 | |
| -1 | -141,105,041 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 141,105,041.
Example:
1 x 141,105,041 = 141,105,041
and
-1 x -141,105,041 = 141,105,041
Notice both answers equal 141,105,041
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 141,105,041 and divide it by 2:
141,105,041 ÷ 2 = 70,552,520.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 70,552,520.5 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 | 141,105,041 | |
| -1 | -141,105,041 |
Now, we try dividing 141,105,041 by 3:
141,105,041 ÷ 3 = 47,035,013.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 47,035,013.6667 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 | 141,105,041 | |
| -1 | -141,105,041 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
141,105,041 ÷ 4 = 35,276,260.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 35,276,260.25 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 | 141,105,041 | |
| -1 | 141,105,041 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 607 | 3,019 | 4,249 | 6,677 | 21,133 | 33,209 | 46,739 | 232,463 | 1,832,533 | 12,827,731 | 20,157,863 | 141,105,041 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -607 | -3,019 | -4,249 | -6,677 | -21,133 | -33,209 | -46,739 | -232,463 | -1,832,533 | -12,827,731 | -20,157,863 | -141,105,041 |
