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 110,144,237, 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 | 110,144,237 | |
| -1 | -110,144,237 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 110,144,237.
Example:
1 x 110,144,237 = 110,144,237
and
-1 x -110,144,237 = 110,144,237
Notice both answers equal 110,144,237
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 110,144,237 and divide it by 2:
110,144,237 ÷ 2 = 55,072,118.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 55,072,118.5 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 | 110,144,237 | |
| -1 | -110,144,237 |
Now, we try dividing 110,144,237 by 3:
110,144,237 ÷ 3 = 36,714,745.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 36,714,745.6667 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 | 110,144,237 | |
| -1 | -110,144,237 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
110,144,237 ÷ 4 = 27,536,059.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 27,536,059.25 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 | 110,144,237 | |
| -1 | 110,144,237 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 83 | 101 | 581 | 707 | 1,877 | 8,383 | 13,139 | 58,681 | 155,791 | 189,577 | 1,090,537 | 1,327,039 | 15,734,891 | 110,144,237 |
| -1 | -7 | -83 | -101 | -581 | -707 | -1,877 | -8,383 | -13,139 | -58,681 | -155,791 | -189,577 | -1,090,537 | -1,327,039 | -15,734,891 | -110,144,237 |
