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 148,337,635, 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 | 148,337,635 | |
| -1 | -148,337,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 148,337,635.
Example:
1 x 148,337,635 = 148,337,635
and
-1 x -148,337,635 = 148,337,635
Notice both answers equal 148,337,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 148,337,635 and divide it by 2:
148,337,635 ÷ 2 = 74,168,817.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 74,168,817.5 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 | 148,337,635 | |
| -1 | -148,337,635 |
Now, we try dividing 148,337,635 by 3:
148,337,635 ÷ 3 = 49,445,878.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 49,445,878.3333 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 | 148,337,635 | |
| -1 | -148,337,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
148,337,635 ÷ 4 = 37,084,408.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 37,084,408.75 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 | 148,337,635 | |
| -1 | 148,337,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 89 | 155 | 445 | 2,759 | 10,753 | 13,795 | 53,765 | 333,343 | 957,017 | 1,666,715 | 4,785,085 | 29,667,527 | 148,337,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -89 | -155 | -445 | -2,759 | -10,753 | -13,795 | -53,765 | -333,343 | -957,017 | -1,666,715 | -4,785,085 | -29,667,527 | -148,337,635 |
