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 114,046,115, 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 | 114,046,115 | |
| -1 | -114,046,115 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,046,115.
Example:
1 x 114,046,115 = 114,046,115
and
-1 x -114,046,115 = 114,046,115
Notice both answers equal 114,046,115
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,046,115 and divide it by 2:
114,046,115 ÷ 2 = 57,023,057.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,023,057.5 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 | 114,046,115 | |
| -1 | -114,046,115 |
Now, we try dividing 114,046,115 by 3:
114,046,115 ÷ 3 = 38,015,371.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,015,371.6667 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 | 114,046,115 | |
| -1 | -114,046,115 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,046,115 ÷ 4 = 28,511,528.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,511,528.75 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 | 114,046,115 | |
| -1 | 114,046,115 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 59 | 85 | 295 | 1,003 | 5,015 | 22,741 | 113,705 | 386,597 | 1,341,719 | 1,932,985 | 6,708,595 | 22,809,223 | 114,046,115 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -59 | -85 | -295 | -1,003 | -5,015 | -22,741 | -113,705 | -386,597 | -1,341,719 | -1,932,985 | -6,708,595 | -22,809,223 | -114,046,115 |
