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 141,194,053, 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 | 141,194,053 | |
| -1 | -141,194,053 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 141,194,053.
Example:
1 x 141,194,053 = 141,194,053
and
-1 x -141,194,053 = 141,194,053
Notice both answers equal 141,194,053
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 141,194,053 and divide it by 2:
141,194,053 ÷ 2 = 70,597,026.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 70,597,026.5 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 | 141,194,053 | |
| -1 | -141,194,053 |
Now, we try dividing 141,194,053 by 3:
141,194,053 ÷ 3 = 47,064,684.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 47,064,684.3333 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 | 141,194,053 | |
| -1 | -141,194,053 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
141,194,053 ÷ 4 = 35,298,513.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 35,298,513.25 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 | 141,194,053 | |
| -1 | 141,194,053 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 13 | 77 | 91 | 121 | 143 | 847 | 1,001 | 1,573 | 11,011 | 12,823 | 89,761 | 141,053 | 166,699 | 987,371 | 1,166,893 | 1,551,583 | 1,833,689 | 10,861,081 | 12,835,823 | 20,170,579 | 141,194,053 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -13 | -77 | -91 | -121 | -143 | -847 | -1,001 | -1,573 | -11,011 | -12,823 | -89,761 | -141,053 | -166,699 | -987,371 | -1,166,893 | -1,551,583 | -1,833,689 | -10,861,081 | -12,835,823 | -20,170,579 | -141,194,053 |
