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 141,332,441, 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 | 141,332,441 | |
| -1 | -141,332,441 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 141,332,441.
Example:
1 x 141,332,441 = 141,332,441
and
-1 x -141,332,441 = 141,332,441
Notice both answers equal 141,332,441
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 141,332,441 and divide it by 2:
141,332,441 ÷ 2 = 70,666,220.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 70,666,220.5 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 | 141,332,441 | |
| -1 | -141,332,441 |
Now, we try dividing 141,332,441 by 3:
141,332,441 ÷ 3 = 47,110,813.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 47,110,813.6667 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 | 141,332,441 | |
| -1 | -141,332,441 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
141,332,441 ÷ 4 = 35,333,110.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 35,333,110.25 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 | 141,332,441 | |
| -1 | 141,332,441 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 31 | 233 | 527 | 1,151 | 3,961 | 7,223 | 19,567 | 35,681 | 122,791 | 268,183 | 606,577 | 4,559,111 | 8,313,673 | 141,332,441 |
| -1 | -17 | -31 | -233 | -527 | -1,151 | -3,961 | -7,223 | -19,567 | -35,681 | -122,791 | -268,183 | -606,577 | -4,559,111 | -8,313,673 | -141,332,441 |
