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 152,850,425, 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 | 152,850,425 | |
| -1 | -152,850,425 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 152,850,425.
Example:
1 x 152,850,425 = 152,850,425
and
-1 x -152,850,425 = 152,850,425
Notice both answers equal 152,850,425
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 152,850,425 and divide it by 2:
152,850,425 ÷ 2 = 76,425,212.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 76,425,212.5 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 | 152,850,425 | |
| -1 | -152,850,425 |
Now, we try dividing 152,850,425 by 3:
152,850,425 ÷ 3 = 50,950,141.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 50,950,141.6667 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 | 152,850,425 | |
| -1 | -152,850,425 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
152,850,425 ÷ 4 = 38,212,606.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 38,212,606.25 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 | 152,850,425 | |
| -1 | 152,850,425 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 13 | 25 | 35 | 65 | 91 | 175 | 325 | 455 | 2,275 | 67,187 | 335,935 | 470,309 | 873,431 | 1,679,675 | 2,351,545 | 4,367,155 | 6,114,017 | 11,757,725 | 21,835,775 | 30,570,085 | 152,850,425 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -13 | -25 | -35 | -65 | -91 | -175 | -325 | -455 | -2,275 | -67,187 | -335,935 | -470,309 | -873,431 | -1,679,675 | -2,351,545 | -4,367,155 | -6,114,017 | -11,757,725 | -21,835,775 | -30,570,085 | -152,850,425 |
