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 112,304,435, 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 | 112,304,435 | |
| -1 | -112,304,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 112,304,435.
Example:
1 x 112,304,435 = 112,304,435
and
-1 x -112,304,435 = 112,304,435
Notice both answers equal 112,304,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 112,304,435 and divide it by 2:
112,304,435 ÷ 2 = 56,152,217.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 56,152,217.5 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 | 112,304,435 | |
| -1 | -112,304,435 |
Now, we try dividing 112,304,435 by 3:
112,304,435 ÷ 3 = 37,434,811.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 37,434,811.6667 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 | 112,304,435 | |
| -1 | -112,304,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
112,304,435 ÷ 4 = 28,076,108.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,076,108.75 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 | 112,304,435 | |
| -1 | 112,304,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 59 | 185 | 295 | 2,183 | 10,289 | 10,915 | 51,445 | 380,693 | 607,051 | 1,903,465 | 3,035,255 | 22,460,887 | 112,304,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -59 | -185 | -295 | -2,183 | -10,289 | -10,915 | -51,445 | -380,693 | -607,051 | -1,903,465 | -3,035,255 | -22,460,887 | -112,304,435 |
