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 141,834,407, 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 | 141,834,407 | |
| -1 | -141,834,407 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 141,834,407.
Example:
1 x 141,834,407 = 141,834,407
and
-1 x -141,834,407 = 141,834,407
Notice both answers equal 141,834,407
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 141,834,407 and divide it by 2:
141,834,407 ÷ 2 = 70,917,203.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 70,917,203.5 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 | 141,834,407 | |
| -1 | -141,834,407 |
Now, we try dividing 141,834,407 by 3:
141,834,407 ÷ 3 = 47,278,135.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 47,278,135.6667 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 | 141,834,407 | |
| -1 | -141,834,407 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
141,834,407 ÷ 4 = 35,458,601.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 35,458,601.75 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 | 141,834,407 | |
| -1 | 141,834,407 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 59 | 143 | 649 | 767 | 8,437 | 16,811 | 184,921 | 218,543 | 991,849 | 2,403,973 | 10,910,339 | 12,894,037 | 141,834,407 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -59 | -143 | -649 | -767 | -8,437 | -16,811 | -184,921 | -218,543 | -991,849 | -2,403,973 | -10,910,339 | -12,894,037 | -141,834,407 |
