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 112,428,635, 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 | 112,428,635 | |
| -1 | -112,428,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 112,428,635.
Example:
1 x 112,428,635 = 112,428,635
and
-1 x -112,428,635 = 112,428,635
Notice both answers equal 112,428,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 112,428,635 and divide it by 2:
112,428,635 ÷ 2 = 56,214,317.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 56,214,317.5 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 | 112,428,635 | |
| -1 | -112,428,635 |
Now, we try dividing 112,428,635 by 3:
112,428,635 ÷ 3 = 37,476,211.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 37,476,211.6667 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 | 112,428,635 | |
| -1 | -112,428,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
112,428,635 ÷ 4 = 28,107,158.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,107,158.75 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 | 112,428,635 | |
| -1 | 112,428,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 53 | 55 | 265 | 583 | 2,915 | 38,569 | 192,845 | 424,259 | 2,044,157 | 2,121,295 | 10,220,785 | 22,485,727 | 112,428,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -53 | -55 | -265 | -583 | -2,915 | -38,569 | -192,845 | -424,259 | -2,044,157 | -2,121,295 | -10,220,785 | -22,485,727 | -112,428,635 |
