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 114,082,787, 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 | 114,082,787 | |
| -1 | -114,082,787 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,082,787.
Example:
1 x 114,082,787 = 114,082,787
and
-1 x -114,082,787 = 114,082,787
Notice both answers equal 114,082,787
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,082,787 and divide it by 2:
114,082,787 ÷ 2 = 57,041,393.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,041,393.5 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 | 114,082,787 | |
| -1 | -114,082,787 |
Now, we try dividing 114,082,787 by 3:
114,082,787 ÷ 3 = 38,027,595.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,027,595.6667 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 | 114,082,787 | |
| -1 | -114,082,787 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,082,787 ÷ 4 = 28,520,696.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,520,696.75 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 | 114,082,787 | |
| -1 | 114,082,787 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 41 | 91 | 287 | 533 | 3,731 | 30,577 | 214,039 | 397,501 | 1,253,657 | 2,782,507 | 8,775,599 | 16,297,541 | 114,082,787 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -41 | -91 | -287 | -533 | -3,731 | -30,577 | -214,039 | -397,501 | -1,253,657 | -2,782,507 | -8,775,599 | -16,297,541 | -114,082,787 |
