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 66,243,133, 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 | 66,243,133 | |
| -1 | -66,243,133 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 66,243,133.
Example:
1 x 66,243,133 = 66,243,133
and
-1 x -66,243,133 = 66,243,133
Notice both answers equal 66,243,133
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 66,243,133 and divide it by 2:
66,243,133 ÷ 2 = 33,121,566.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 33,121,566.5 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 | 66,243,133 | |
| -1 | -66,243,133 |
Now, we try dividing 66,243,133 by 3:
66,243,133 ÷ 3 = 22,081,044.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 22,081,044.3333 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 | 66,243,133 | |
| -1 | -66,243,133 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
66,243,133 ÷ 4 = 16,560,783.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 16,560,783.25 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 | 66,243,133 | |
| -1 | 66,243,133 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 61 | 269 | 367 | 671 | 2,959 | 4,037 | 16,409 | 22,387 | 98,723 | 180,499 | 246,257 | 1,085,953 | 6,022,103 | 66,243,133 |
| -1 | -11 | -61 | -269 | -367 | -671 | -2,959 | -4,037 | -16,409 | -22,387 | -98,723 | -180,499 | -246,257 | -1,085,953 | -6,022,103 | -66,243,133 |
