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 143,346,065, 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 | 143,346,065 | |
| -1 | -143,346,065 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 143,346,065.
Example:
1 x 143,346,065 = 143,346,065
and
-1 x -143,346,065 = 143,346,065
Notice both answers equal 143,346,065
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 143,346,065 and divide it by 2:
143,346,065 ÷ 2 = 71,673,032.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 71,673,032.5 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 | 143,346,065 | |
| -1 | -143,346,065 |
Now, we try dividing 143,346,065 by 3:
143,346,065 ÷ 3 = 47,782,021.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 47,782,021.6667 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 | 143,346,065 | |
| -1 | -143,346,065 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
143,346,065 ÷ 4 = 35,836,516.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 35,836,516.25 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 | 143,346,065 | |
| -1 | 143,346,065 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 197 | 269 | 541 | 985 | 1,345 | 2,705 | 52,993 | 106,577 | 145,529 | 264,965 | 532,885 | 727,645 | 28,669,213 | 143,346,065 |
| -1 | -5 | -197 | -269 | -541 | -985 | -1,345 | -2,705 | -52,993 | -106,577 | -145,529 | -264,965 | -532,885 | -727,645 | -28,669,213 | -143,346,065 |
