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 114,051,245, 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 | 114,051,245 | |
| -1 | -114,051,245 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,051,245.
Example:
1 x 114,051,245 = 114,051,245
and
-1 x -114,051,245 = 114,051,245
Notice both answers equal 114,051,245
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,051,245 and divide it by 2:
114,051,245 ÷ 2 = 57,025,622.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,025,622.5 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 | 114,051,245 | |
| -1 | -114,051,245 |
Now, we try dividing 114,051,245 by 3:
114,051,245 ÷ 3 = 38,017,081.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,017,081.6667 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 | 114,051,245 | |
| -1 | -114,051,245 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,051,245 ÷ 4 = 28,512,811.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,512,811.25 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 | 114,051,245 | |
| -1 | 114,051,245 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 35 | 55 | 77 | 385 | 296,237 | 1,481,185 | 2,073,659 | 3,258,607 | 10,368,295 | 16,293,035 | 22,810,249 | 114,051,245 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -11 | -35 | -55 | -77 | -385 | -296,237 | -1,481,185 | -2,073,659 | -3,258,607 | -10,368,295 | -16,293,035 | -22,810,249 | -114,051,245 |
