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 113,341,501, 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 | 113,341,501 | |
| -1 | -113,341,501 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 113,341,501.
Example:
1 x 113,341,501 = 113,341,501
and
-1 x -113,341,501 = 113,341,501
Notice both answers equal 113,341,501
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 113,341,501 and divide it by 2:
113,341,501 ÷ 2 = 56,670,750.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 56,670,750.5 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 | 113,341,501 | |
| -1 | -113,341,501 |
Now, we try dividing 113,341,501 by 3:
113,341,501 ÷ 3 = 37,780,500.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 37,780,500.3333 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 | 113,341,501 | |
| -1 | -113,341,501 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
113,341,501 ÷ 4 = 28,335,375.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,335,375.25 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 | 113,341,501 | |
| -1 | 113,341,501 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 191 | 1,337 | 2,483 | 6,521 | 17,381 | 45,647 | 84,773 | 593,411 | 1,245,511 | 8,718,577 | 16,191,643 | 113,341,501 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -191 | -1,337 | -2,483 | -6,521 | -17,381 | -45,647 | -84,773 | -593,411 | -1,245,511 | -8,718,577 | -16,191,643 | -113,341,501 |
