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 201,403,135, 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 | 201,403,135 | |
| -1 | -201,403,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 201,403,135.
Example:
1 x 201,403,135 = 201,403,135
and
-1 x -201,403,135 = 201,403,135
Notice both answers equal 201,403,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 201,403,135 and divide it by 2:
201,403,135 ÷ 2 = 100,701,567.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 100,701,567.5 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 | 201,403,135 | |
| -1 | -201,403,135 |
Now, we try dividing 201,403,135 by 3:
201,403,135 ÷ 3 = 67,134,378.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 67,134,378.3333 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 | 201,403,135 | |
| -1 | -201,403,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
201,403,135 ÷ 4 = 50,350,783.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 50,350,783.75 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 | 201,403,135 | |
| -1 | 201,403,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 271 | 1,355 | 5,149 | 7,823 | 25,745 | 39,115 | 148,637 | 743,185 | 2,120,033 | 10,600,165 | 40,280,627 | 201,403,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -271 | -1,355 | -5,149 | -7,823 | -25,745 | -39,115 | -148,637 | -743,185 | -2,120,033 | -10,600,165 | -40,280,627 | -201,403,135 |
