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 113,551,543, 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 | 113,551,543 | |
| -1 | -113,551,543 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 113,551,543.
Example:
1 x 113,551,543 = 113,551,543
and
-1 x -113,551,543 = 113,551,543
Notice both answers equal 113,551,543
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 113,551,543 and divide it by 2:
113,551,543 ÷ 2 = 56,775,771.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 56,775,771.5 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 | 113,551,543 | |
| -1 | -113,551,543 |
Now, we try dividing 113,551,543 by 3:
113,551,543 ÷ 3 = 37,850,514.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 37,850,514.3333 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 | 113,551,543 | |
| -1 | -113,551,543 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
113,551,543 ÷ 4 = 28,387,885.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,387,885.75 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 | 113,551,543 | |
| -1 | 113,551,543 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 31 | 133 | 217 | 589 | 4,123 | 27,541 | 192,787 | 523,279 | 853,771 | 3,662,953 | 5,976,397 | 16,221,649 | 113,551,543 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -31 | -133 | -217 | -589 | -4,123 | -27,541 | -192,787 | -523,279 | -853,771 | -3,662,953 | -5,976,397 | -16,221,649 | -113,551,543 |
