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 144,677,735, 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 | 144,677,735 | |
| -1 | -144,677,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 144,677,735.
Example:
1 x 144,677,735 = 144,677,735
and
-1 x -144,677,735 = 144,677,735
Notice both answers equal 144,677,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 144,677,735 and divide it by 2:
144,677,735 ÷ 2 = 72,338,867.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 72,338,867.5 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 | 144,677,735 | |
| -1 | -144,677,735 |
Now, we try dividing 144,677,735 by 3:
144,677,735 ÷ 3 = 48,225,911.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 48,225,911.6667 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 | 144,677,735 | |
| -1 | -144,677,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
144,677,735 ÷ 4 = 36,169,433.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 36,169,433.75 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 | 144,677,735 | |
| -1 | 144,677,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 59 | 85 | 289 | 295 | 1,003 | 1,445 | 1,697 | 5,015 | 8,485 | 17,051 | 28,849 | 85,255 | 100,123 | 144,245 | 490,433 | 500,615 | 1,702,091 | 2,452,165 | 8,510,455 | 28,935,547 | 144,677,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -59 | -85 | -289 | -295 | -1,003 | -1,445 | -1,697 | -5,015 | -8,485 | -17,051 | -28,849 | -85,255 | -100,123 | -144,245 | -490,433 | -500,615 | -1,702,091 | -2,452,165 | -8,510,455 | -28,935,547 | -144,677,735 |
