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 141,301,127, 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 | 141,301,127 | |
| -1 | -141,301,127 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 141,301,127.
Example:
1 x 141,301,127 = 141,301,127
and
-1 x -141,301,127 = 141,301,127
Notice both answers equal 141,301,127
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 141,301,127 and divide it by 2:
141,301,127 ÷ 2 = 70,650,563.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 70,650,563.5 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 | 141,301,127 | |
| -1 | -141,301,127 |
Now, we try dividing 141,301,127 by 3:
141,301,127 ÷ 3 = 47,100,375.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 47,100,375.6667 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 | 141,301,127 | |
| -1 | -141,301,127 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
141,301,127 ÷ 4 = 35,325,281.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 35,325,281.75 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 | 141,301,127 | |
| -1 | 141,301,127 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 53 | 187 | 269 | 583 | 901 | 2,809 | 2,959 | 4,573 | 9,911 | 14,257 | 30,899 | 47,753 | 50,303 | 156,827 | 242,369 | 525,283 | 755,621 | 2,666,059 | 8,311,831 | 12,845,557 | 141,301,127 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -53 | -187 | -269 | -583 | -901 | -2,809 | -2,959 | -4,573 | -9,911 | -14,257 | -30,899 | -47,753 | -50,303 | -156,827 | -242,369 | -525,283 | -755,621 | -2,666,059 | -8,311,831 | -12,845,557 | -141,301,127 |
