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 113,546,345, 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 | 113,546,345 | |
| -1 | -113,546,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 113,546,345.
Example:
1 x 113,546,345 = 113,546,345
and
-1 x -113,546,345 = 113,546,345
Notice both answers equal 113,546,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 113,546,345 and divide it by 2:
113,546,345 ÷ 2 = 56,773,172.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 56,773,172.5 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 | 113,546,345 | |
| -1 | -113,546,345 |
Now, we try dividing 113,546,345 by 3:
113,546,345 ÷ 3 = 37,848,781.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 37,848,781.6667 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 | 113,546,345 | |
| -1 | -113,546,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
113,546,345 ÷ 4 = 28,386,586.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,386,586.25 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 | 113,546,345 | |
| -1 | 113,546,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 587 | 2,935 | 3,517 | 6,457 | 17,585 | 32,285 | 38,687 | 193,435 | 2,064,479 | 10,322,395 | 22,709,269 | 113,546,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -587 | -2,935 | -3,517 | -6,457 | -17,585 | -32,285 | -38,687 | -193,435 | -2,064,479 | -10,322,395 | -22,709,269 | -113,546,345 |
