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 114,102,703, 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 | 114,102,703 | |
| -1 | -114,102,703 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,102,703.
Example:
1 x 114,102,703 = 114,102,703
and
-1 x -114,102,703 = 114,102,703
Notice both answers equal 114,102,703
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,102,703 and divide it by 2:
114,102,703 ÷ 2 = 57,051,351.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,051,351.5 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 | 114,102,703 | |
| -1 | -114,102,703 |
Now, we try dividing 114,102,703 by 3:
114,102,703 ÷ 3 = 38,034,234.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,034,234.3333 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 | 114,102,703 | |
| -1 | -114,102,703 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,102,703 ÷ 4 = 28,525,675.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,525,675.75 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 | 114,102,703 | |
| -1 | 114,102,703 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 131 | 143 | 1,441 | 1,703 | 6,091 | 18,733 | 67,001 | 79,183 | 797,921 | 871,013 | 8,777,131 | 10,372,973 | 114,102,703 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -131 | -143 | -1,441 | -1,703 | -6,091 | -18,733 | -67,001 | -79,183 | -797,921 | -871,013 | -8,777,131 | -10,372,973 | -114,102,703 |
