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 425,250,133, 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 | 425,250,133 | |
| -1 | -425,250,133 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 425,250,133.
Example:
1 x 425,250,133 = 425,250,133
and
-1 x -425,250,133 = 425,250,133
Notice both answers equal 425,250,133
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 425,250,133 and divide it by 2:
425,250,133 ÷ 2 = 212,625,066.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 212,625,066.5 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 | 425,250,133 | |
| -1 | -425,250,133 |
Now, we try dividing 425,250,133 by 3:
425,250,133 ÷ 3 = 141,750,044.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 141,750,044.3333 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 | 425,250,133 | |
| -1 | -425,250,133 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
425,250,133 ÷ 4 = 106,312,533.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 106,312,533.25 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 | 425,250,133 | |
| -1 | 425,250,133 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 941 | 5,869 | 6,587 | 10,351 | 41,083 | 64,559 | 72,457 | 451,913 | 5,522,729 | 38,659,103 | 60,750,019 | 425,250,133 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -941 | -5,869 | -6,587 | -10,351 | -41,083 | -64,559 | -72,457 | -451,913 | -5,522,729 | -38,659,103 | -60,750,019 | -425,250,133 |
