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 141,658,433, 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 | 141,658,433 | |
| -1 | -141,658,433 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 141,658,433.
Example:
1 x 141,658,433 = 141,658,433
and
-1 x -141,658,433 = 141,658,433
Notice both answers equal 141,658,433
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 141,658,433 and divide it by 2:
141,658,433 ÷ 2 = 70,829,216.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 70,829,216.5 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 | 141,658,433 | |
| -1 | -141,658,433 |
Now, we try dividing 141,658,433 by 3:
141,658,433 ÷ 3 = 47,219,477.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 47,219,477.6667 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 | 141,658,433 | |
| -1 | -141,658,433 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
141,658,433 ÷ 4 = 35,414,608.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 35,414,608.25 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 | 141,658,433 | |
| -1 | 141,658,433 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 19 | 119 | 133 | 323 | 2,261 | 62,653 | 438,571 | 1,065,101 | 1,190,407 | 7,455,707 | 8,332,849 | 20,236,919 | 141,658,433 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -19 | -119 | -133 | -323 | -2,261 | -62,653 | -438,571 | -1,065,101 | -1,190,407 | -7,455,707 | -8,332,849 | -20,236,919 | -141,658,433 |
