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 114,087,131, 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 | 114,087,131 | |
| -1 | -114,087,131 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,087,131.
Example:
1 x 114,087,131 = 114,087,131
and
-1 x -114,087,131 = 114,087,131
Notice both answers equal 114,087,131
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,087,131 and divide it by 2:
114,087,131 ÷ 2 = 57,043,565.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,043,565.5 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 | 114,087,131 | |
| -1 | -114,087,131 |
Now, we try dividing 114,087,131 by 3:
114,087,131 ÷ 3 = 38,029,043.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,029,043.6667 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 | 114,087,131 | |
| -1 | -114,087,131 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,087,131 ÷ 4 = 28,521,782.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,521,782.75 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 | 114,087,131 | |
| -1 | 114,087,131 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 67 | 71 | 827 | 1,943 | 2,059 | 4,757 | 23,983 | 55,409 | 58,717 | 137,953 | 1,606,861 | 1,702,793 | 3,934,039 | 114,087,131 |
| -1 | -29 | -67 | -71 | -827 | -1,943 | -2,059 | -4,757 | -23,983 | -55,409 | -58,717 | -137,953 | -1,606,861 | -1,702,793 | -3,934,039 | -114,087,131 |
