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 146,086,075, 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 | 146,086,075 | |
| -1 | -146,086,075 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 146,086,075.
Example:
1 x 146,086,075 = 146,086,075
and
-1 x -146,086,075 = 146,086,075
Notice both answers equal 146,086,075
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 146,086,075 and divide it by 2:
146,086,075 ÷ 2 = 73,043,037.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 73,043,037.5 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 | 146,086,075 | |
| -1 | -146,086,075 |
Now, we try dividing 146,086,075 by 3:
146,086,075 ÷ 3 = 48,695,358.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 48,695,358.3333 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 | 146,086,075 | |
| -1 | -146,086,075 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
146,086,075 ÷ 4 = 36,521,518.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 36,521,518.75 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 | 146,086,075 | |
| -1 | 146,086,075 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 41 | 205 | 359 | 397 | 1,025 | 1,795 | 1,985 | 8,975 | 9,925 | 14,719 | 16,277 | 73,595 | 81,385 | 142,523 | 367,975 | 406,925 | 712,615 | 3,563,075 | 5,843,443 | 29,217,215 | 146,086,075 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -41 | -205 | -359 | -397 | -1,025 | -1,795 | -1,985 | -8,975 | -9,925 | -14,719 | -16,277 | -73,595 | -81,385 | -142,523 | -367,975 | -406,925 | -712,615 | -3,563,075 | -5,843,443 | -29,217,215 | -146,086,075 |
