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 150,113,119, 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 | 150,113,119 | |
| -1 | -150,113,119 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 150,113,119.
Example:
1 x 150,113,119 = 150,113,119
and
-1 x -150,113,119 = 150,113,119
Notice both answers equal 150,113,119
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 150,113,119 and divide it by 2:
150,113,119 ÷ 2 = 75,056,559.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 75,056,559.5 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 | 150,113,119 | |
| -1 | -150,113,119 |
Now, we try dividing 150,113,119 by 3:
150,113,119 ÷ 3 = 50,037,706.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 50,037,706.3333 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 | 150,113,119 | |
| -1 | -150,113,119 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
150,113,119 ÷ 4 = 37,528,279.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 37,528,279.75 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 | 150,113,119 | |
| -1 | 150,113,119 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 53 | 223 | 689 | 977 | 2,899 | 11,819 | 12,701 | 51,781 | 153,647 | 217,871 | 673,153 | 2,832,323 | 11,547,163 | 150,113,119 |
| -1 | -13 | -53 | -223 | -689 | -977 | -2,899 | -11,819 | -12,701 | -51,781 | -153,647 | -217,871 | -673,153 | -2,832,323 | -11,547,163 | -150,113,119 |
