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 143,001,125, 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 | 143,001,125 | |
| -1 | -143,001,125 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 143,001,125.
Example:
1 x 143,001,125 = 143,001,125
and
-1 x -143,001,125 = 143,001,125
Notice both answers equal 143,001,125
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 143,001,125 and divide it by 2:
143,001,125 ÷ 2 = 71,500,562.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 71,500,562.5 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 | 143,001,125 | |
| -1 | -143,001,125 |
Now, we try dividing 143,001,125 by 3:
143,001,125 ÷ 3 = 47,667,041.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 47,667,041.6667 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 | 143,001,125 | |
| -1 | -143,001,125 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
143,001,125 ÷ 4 = 35,750,281.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 35,750,281.25 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 | 143,001,125 | |
| -1 | 143,001,125 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 25 | 95 | 125 | 361 | 475 | 1,805 | 2,375 | 3,169 | 9,025 | 15,845 | 45,125 | 60,211 | 79,225 | 301,055 | 396,125 | 1,144,009 | 1,505,275 | 5,720,045 | 7,526,375 | 28,600,225 | 143,001,125 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -25 | -95 | -125 | -361 | -475 | -1,805 | -2,375 | -3,169 | -9,025 | -15,845 | -45,125 | -60,211 | -79,225 | -301,055 | -396,125 | -1,144,009 | -1,505,275 | -5,720,045 | -7,526,375 | -28,600,225 | -143,001,125 |
