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 113,423,453, 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 | 113,423,453 | |
| -1 | -113,423,453 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 113,423,453.
Example:
1 x 113,423,453 = 113,423,453
and
-1 x -113,423,453 = 113,423,453
Notice both answers equal 113,423,453
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 113,423,453 and divide it by 2:
113,423,453 ÷ 2 = 56,711,726.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 56,711,726.5 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 | 113,423,453 | |
| -1 | -113,423,453 |
Now, we try dividing 113,423,453 by 3:
113,423,453 ÷ 3 = 37,807,817.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 37,807,817.6667 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 | 113,423,453 | |
| -1 | -113,423,453 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
113,423,453 ÷ 4 = 28,355,863.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,355,863.25 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 | 113,423,453 | |
| -1 | 113,423,453 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 143 | 389 | 2,039 | 4,279 | 5,057 | 22,429 | 26,507 | 55,627 | 291,577 | 793,171 | 8,724,881 | 10,311,223 | 113,423,453 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -143 | -389 | -2,039 | -4,279 | -5,057 | -22,429 | -26,507 | -55,627 | -291,577 | -793,171 | -8,724,881 | -10,311,223 | -113,423,453 |
