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 155,271,875, 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 | 155,271,875 | |
| -1 | -155,271,875 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 155,271,875.
Example:
1 x 155,271,875 = 155,271,875
and
-1 x -155,271,875 = 155,271,875
Notice both answers equal 155,271,875
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 155,271,875 and divide it by 2:
155,271,875 ÷ 2 = 77,635,937.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 77,635,937.5 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 | 155,271,875 | |
| -1 | -155,271,875 |
Now, we try dividing 155,271,875 by 3:
155,271,875 ÷ 3 = 51,757,291.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 51,757,291.6667 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 | 155,271,875 | |
| -1 | -155,271,875 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
155,271,875 ÷ 4 = 38,817,968.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 38,817,968.75 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 | 155,271,875 | |
| -1 | 155,271,875 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 125 | 275 | 625 | 1,375 | 3,125 | 4,517 | 6,875 | 22,585 | 34,375 | 49,687 | 112,925 | 248,435 | 564,625 | 1,242,175 | 2,823,125 | 6,210,875 | 14,115,625 | 31,054,375 | 155,271,875 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -125 | -275 | -625 | -1,375 | -3,125 | -4,517 | -6,875 | -22,585 | -34,375 | -49,687 | -112,925 | -248,435 | -564,625 | -1,242,175 | -2,823,125 | -6,210,875 | -14,115,625 | -31,054,375 | -155,271,875 |
