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 111,056,231, 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 | 111,056,231 | |
| -1 | -111,056,231 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 111,056,231.
Example:
1 x 111,056,231 = 111,056,231
and
-1 x -111,056,231 = 111,056,231
Notice both answers equal 111,056,231
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 111,056,231 and divide it by 2:
111,056,231 ÷ 2 = 55,528,115.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 55,528,115.5 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 | 111,056,231 | |
| -1 | -111,056,231 |
Now, we try dividing 111,056,231 by 3:
111,056,231 ÷ 3 = 37,018,743.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 37,018,743.6667 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 | 111,056,231 | |
| -1 | -111,056,231 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
111,056,231 ÷ 4 = 27,764,057.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 27,764,057.75 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 | 111,056,231 | |
| -1 | 111,056,231 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 59 | 143 | 649 | 767 | 8,437 | 13,163 | 144,793 | 171,119 | 776,617 | 1,882,309 | 8,542,787 | 10,096,021 | 111,056,231 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -59 | -143 | -649 | -767 | -8,437 | -13,163 | -144,793 | -171,119 | -776,617 | -1,882,309 | -8,542,787 | -10,096,021 | -111,056,231 |
