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 113,020,229, 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 | 113,020,229 | |
| -1 | -113,020,229 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 113,020,229.
Example:
1 x 113,020,229 = 113,020,229
and
-1 x -113,020,229 = 113,020,229
Notice both answers equal 113,020,229
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 113,020,229 and divide it by 2:
113,020,229 ÷ 2 = 56,510,114.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 56,510,114.5 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 | 113,020,229 | |
| -1 | -113,020,229 |
Now, we try dividing 113,020,229 by 3:
113,020,229 ÷ 3 = 37,673,409.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 37,673,409.6667 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 | 113,020,229 | |
| -1 | -113,020,229 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
113,020,229 ÷ 4 = 28,255,057.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,255,057.25 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 | 113,020,229 | |
| -1 | 113,020,229 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 97 | 161 | 679 | 2,231 | 7,237 | 15,617 | 50,659 | 166,451 | 701,989 | 1,165,157 | 4,913,923 | 16,145,747 | 113,020,229 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -97 | -161 | -679 | -2,231 | -7,237 | -15,617 | -50,659 | -166,451 | -701,989 | -1,165,157 | -4,913,923 | -16,145,747 | -113,020,229 |
