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 146,267,525, 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 | 146,267,525 | |
| -1 | -146,267,525 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 146,267,525.
Example:
1 x 146,267,525 = 146,267,525
and
-1 x -146,267,525 = 146,267,525
Notice both answers equal 146,267,525
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 146,267,525 and divide it by 2:
146,267,525 ÷ 2 = 73,133,762.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 73,133,762.5 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 | 146,267,525 | |
| -1 | -146,267,525 |
Now, we try dividing 146,267,525 by 3:
146,267,525 ÷ 3 = 48,755,841.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 48,755,841.6667 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 | 146,267,525 | |
| -1 | -146,267,525 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
146,267,525 ÷ 4 = 36,566,881.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 36,566,881.25 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 | 146,267,525 | |
| -1 | 146,267,525 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 47 | 235 | 281 | 443 | 1,175 | 1,405 | 2,215 | 7,025 | 11,075 | 13,207 | 20,821 | 66,035 | 104,105 | 124,483 | 330,175 | 520,525 | 622,415 | 3,112,075 | 5,850,701 | 29,253,505 | 146,267,525 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -47 | -235 | -281 | -443 | -1,175 | -1,405 | -2,215 | -7,025 | -11,075 | -13,207 | -20,821 | -66,035 | -104,105 | -124,483 | -330,175 | -520,525 | -622,415 | -3,112,075 | -5,850,701 | -29,253,505 | -146,267,525 |
