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 114,115,495, 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 | 114,115,495 | |
| -1 | -114,115,495 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,115,495.
Example:
1 x 114,115,495 = 114,115,495
and
-1 x -114,115,495 = 114,115,495
Notice both answers equal 114,115,495
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,115,495 and divide it by 2:
114,115,495 ÷ 2 = 57,057,747.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,057,747.5 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 | 114,115,495 | |
| -1 | -114,115,495 |
Now, we try dividing 114,115,495 by 3:
114,115,495 ÷ 3 = 38,038,498.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,038,498.3333 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 | 114,115,495 | |
| -1 | -114,115,495 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,115,495 ÷ 4 = 28,528,873.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,528,873.75 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 | 114,115,495 | |
| -1 | 114,115,495 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 31 | 65 | 155 | 403 | 2,015 | 56,633 | 283,165 | 736,229 | 1,755,623 | 3,681,145 | 8,778,115 | 22,823,099 | 114,115,495 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -31 | -65 | -155 | -403 | -2,015 | -56,633 | -283,165 | -736,229 | -1,755,623 | -3,681,145 | -8,778,115 | -22,823,099 | -114,115,495 |
