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 113,424,509, 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 | 113,424,509 | |
| -1 | -113,424,509 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 113,424,509.
Example:
1 x 113,424,509 = 113,424,509
and
-1 x -113,424,509 = 113,424,509
Notice both answers equal 113,424,509
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 113,424,509 and divide it by 2:
113,424,509 ÷ 2 = 56,712,254.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 56,712,254.5 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 | 113,424,509 | |
| -1 | -113,424,509 |
Now, we try dividing 113,424,509 by 3:
113,424,509 ÷ 3 = 37,808,169.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 37,808,169.6667 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 | 113,424,509 | |
| -1 | -113,424,509 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
113,424,509 ÷ 4 = 28,356,127.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,356,127.25 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 | 113,424,509 | |
| -1 | 113,424,509 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 173 | 209 | 1,903 | 3,137 | 3,287 | 34,507 | 36,157 | 59,603 | 542,701 | 655,633 | 5,969,711 | 10,311,319 | 113,424,509 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -173 | -209 | -1,903 | -3,137 | -3,287 | -34,507 | -36,157 | -59,603 | -542,701 | -655,633 | -5,969,711 | -10,311,319 | -113,424,509 |
