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 141,107,735, 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 | 141,107,735 | |
| -1 | -141,107,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 141,107,735.
Example:
1 x 141,107,735 = 141,107,735
and
-1 x -141,107,735 = 141,107,735
Notice both answers equal 141,107,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 141,107,735 and divide it by 2:
141,107,735 ÷ 2 = 70,553,867.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 70,553,867.5 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 | 141,107,735 | |
| -1 | -141,107,735 |
Now, we try dividing 141,107,735 by 3:
141,107,735 ÷ 3 = 47,035,911.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 47,035,911.6667 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 | 141,107,735 | |
| -1 | -141,107,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
141,107,735 ÷ 4 = 35,276,933.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 35,276,933.75 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 | 141,107,735 | |
| -1 | 141,107,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 947 | 1,753 | 4,735 | 8,765 | 16,099 | 29,801 | 80,495 | 149,005 | 1,660,091 | 8,300,455 | 28,221,547 | 141,107,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -947 | -1,753 | -4,735 | -8,765 | -16,099 | -29,801 | -80,495 | -149,005 | -1,660,091 | -8,300,455 | -28,221,547 | -141,107,735 |
