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 114,021,013, 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 | 114,021,013 | |
| -1 | -114,021,013 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,021,013.
Example:
1 x 114,021,013 = 114,021,013
and
-1 x -114,021,013 = 114,021,013
Notice both answers equal 114,021,013
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,021,013 and divide it by 2:
114,021,013 ÷ 2 = 57,010,506.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,010,506.5 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 | 114,021,013 | |
| -1 | -114,021,013 |
Now, we try dividing 114,021,013 by 3:
114,021,013 ÷ 3 = 38,007,004.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,007,004.3333 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 | 114,021,013 | |
| -1 | -114,021,013 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,021,013 ÷ 4 = 28,505,253.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,505,253.25 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 | 114,021,013 | |
| -1 | 114,021,013 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 37 | 47 | 173 | 379 | 1,739 | 6,401 | 8,131 | 14,023 | 17,813 | 65,567 | 300,847 | 659,081 | 2,425,979 | 3,081,649 | 114,021,013 |
| -1 | -37 | -47 | -173 | -379 | -1,739 | -6,401 | -8,131 | -14,023 | -17,813 | -65,567 | -300,847 | -659,081 | -2,425,979 | -3,081,649 | -114,021,013 |
