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 114,042,313, 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 | 114,042,313 | |
| -1 | -114,042,313 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,042,313.
Example:
1 x 114,042,313 = 114,042,313
and
-1 x -114,042,313 = 114,042,313
Notice both answers equal 114,042,313
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,042,313 and divide it by 2:
114,042,313 ÷ 2 = 57,021,156.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,021,156.5 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 | 114,042,313 | |
| -1 | -114,042,313 |
Now, we try dividing 114,042,313 by 3:
114,042,313 ÷ 3 = 38,014,104.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,014,104.3333 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 | 114,042,313 | |
| -1 | -114,042,313 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,042,313 ÷ 4 = 28,510,578.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,510,578.25 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 | 114,042,313 | |
| -1 | 114,042,313 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 19 | 77 | 133 | 209 | 1,463 | 77,951 | 545,657 | 857,461 | 1,481,069 | 6,002,227 | 10,367,483 | 16,291,759 | 114,042,313 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -19 | -77 | -133 | -209 | -1,463 | -77,951 | -545,657 | -857,461 | -1,481,069 | -6,002,227 | -10,367,483 | -16,291,759 | -114,042,313 |
