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 113,044,339, 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 | 113,044,339 | |
| -1 | -113,044,339 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 113,044,339.
Example:
1 x 113,044,339 = 113,044,339
and
-1 x -113,044,339 = 113,044,339
Notice both answers equal 113,044,339
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 113,044,339 and divide it by 2:
113,044,339 ÷ 2 = 56,522,169.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 56,522,169.5 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 | 113,044,339 | |
| -1 | -113,044,339 |
Now, we try dividing 113,044,339 by 3:
113,044,339 ÷ 3 = 37,681,446.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 37,681,446.3333 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 | 113,044,339 | |
| -1 | -113,044,339 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
113,044,339 ÷ 4 = 28,261,084.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,261,084.75 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 | 113,044,339 | |
| -1 | 113,044,339 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 41 | 79 | 697 | 1,343 | 2,053 | 3,239 | 34,901 | 55,063 | 84,173 | 162,187 | 1,430,941 | 2,757,179 | 6,649,667 | 113,044,339 |
| -1 | -17 | -41 | -79 | -697 | -1,343 | -2,053 | -3,239 | -34,901 | -55,063 | -84,173 | -162,187 | -1,430,941 | -2,757,179 | -6,649,667 | -113,044,339 |
