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 143,334,811, 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 | 143,334,811 | |
| -1 | -143,334,811 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 143,334,811.
Example:
1 x 143,334,811 = 143,334,811
and
-1 x -143,334,811 = 143,334,811
Notice both answers equal 143,334,811
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 143,334,811 and divide it by 2:
143,334,811 ÷ 2 = 71,667,405.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 71,667,405.5 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 | 143,334,811 | |
| -1 | -143,334,811 |
Now, we try dividing 143,334,811 by 3:
143,334,811 ÷ 3 = 47,778,270.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 47,778,270.3333 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 | 143,334,811 | |
| -1 | -143,334,811 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
143,334,811 ÷ 4 = 35,833,702.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 35,833,702.75 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 | 143,334,811 | |
| -1 | 143,334,811 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 41 | 61 | 223 | 257 | 2,501 | 9,143 | 10,537 | 13,603 | 15,677 | 57,311 | 557,723 | 642,757 | 2,349,751 | 3,495,971 | 143,334,811 |
| -1 | -41 | -61 | -223 | -257 | -2,501 | -9,143 | -10,537 | -13,603 | -15,677 | -57,311 | -557,723 | -642,757 | -2,349,751 | -3,495,971 | -143,334,811 |
