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 141,202,411, 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 | 141,202,411 | |
| -1 | -141,202,411 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 141,202,411.
Example:
1 x 141,202,411 = 141,202,411
and
-1 x -141,202,411 = 141,202,411
Notice both answers equal 141,202,411
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 141,202,411 and divide it by 2:
141,202,411 ÷ 2 = 70,601,205.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 70,601,205.5 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 | 141,202,411 | |
| -1 | -141,202,411 |
Now, we try dividing 141,202,411 by 3:
141,202,411 ÷ 3 = 47,067,470.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 47,067,470.3333 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 | 141,202,411 | |
| -1 | -141,202,411 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
141,202,411 ÷ 4 = 35,300,602.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 35,300,602.75 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 | 141,202,411 | |
| -1 | 141,202,411 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 43 | 131 | 301 | 917 | 3,581 | 5,633 | 25,067 | 39,431 | 153,983 | 469,111 | 1,077,881 | 3,283,777 | 20,171,773 | 141,202,411 |
| -1 | -7 | -43 | -131 | -301 | -917 | -3,581 | -5,633 | -25,067 | -39,431 | -153,983 | -469,111 | -1,077,881 | -3,283,777 | -20,171,773 | -141,202,411 |
