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 145,757,915, 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 | 145,757,915 | |
| -1 | -145,757,915 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 145,757,915.
Example:
1 x 145,757,915 = 145,757,915
and
-1 x -145,757,915 = 145,757,915
Notice both answers equal 145,757,915
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 145,757,915 and divide it by 2:
145,757,915 ÷ 2 = 72,878,957.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 72,878,957.5 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 | 145,757,915 | |
| -1 | -145,757,915 |
Now, we try dividing 145,757,915 by 3:
145,757,915 ÷ 3 = 48,585,971.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 48,585,971.6667 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 | 145,757,915 | |
| -1 | -145,757,915 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
145,757,915 ÷ 4 = 36,439,478.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 36,439,478.75 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 | 145,757,915 | |
| -1 | 145,757,915 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 29 | 85 | 145 | 493 | 841 | 2,039 | 2,465 | 4,205 | 10,195 | 14,297 | 34,663 | 59,131 | 71,485 | 173,315 | 295,655 | 1,005,227 | 1,714,799 | 5,026,135 | 8,573,995 | 29,151,583 | 145,757,915 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -29 | -85 | -145 | -493 | -841 | -2,039 | -2,465 | -4,205 | -10,195 | -14,297 | -34,663 | -59,131 | -71,485 | -173,315 | -295,655 | -1,005,227 | -1,714,799 | -5,026,135 | -8,573,995 | -29,151,583 | -145,757,915 |
