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 141,224,335, 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 | 141,224,335 | |
| -1 | -141,224,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 141,224,335.
Example:
1 x 141,224,335 = 141,224,335
and
-1 x -141,224,335 = 141,224,335
Notice both answers equal 141,224,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 141,224,335 and divide it by 2:
141,224,335 ÷ 2 = 70,612,167.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 70,612,167.5 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 | 141,224,335 | |
| -1 | -141,224,335 |
Now, we try dividing 141,224,335 by 3:
141,224,335 ÷ 3 = 47,074,778.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 47,074,778.3333 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 | 141,224,335 | |
| -1 | -141,224,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
141,224,335 ÷ 4 = 35,306,083.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 35,306,083.75 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 | 141,224,335 | |
| -1 | 141,224,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 1,453 | 2,777 | 7,265 | 10,171 | 13,885 | 19,439 | 50,855 | 97,195 | 4,034,981 | 20,174,905 | 28,244,867 | 141,224,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -1,453 | -2,777 | -7,265 | -10,171 | -13,885 | -19,439 | -50,855 | -97,195 | -4,034,981 | -20,174,905 | -28,244,867 | -141,224,335 |
