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 114,119,395, 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 | 114,119,395 | |
| -1 | -114,119,395 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,119,395.
Example:
1 x 114,119,395 = 114,119,395
and
-1 x -114,119,395 = 114,119,395
Notice both answers equal 114,119,395
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,119,395 and divide it by 2:
114,119,395 ÷ 2 = 57,059,697.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,059,697.5 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 | 114,119,395 | |
| -1 | -114,119,395 |
Now, we try dividing 114,119,395 by 3:
114,119,395 ÷ 3 = 38,039,798.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,039,798.3333 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 | 114,119,395 | |
| -1 | -114,119,395 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,119,395 ÷ 4 = 28,529,848.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,529,848.75 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 | 114,119,395 | |
| -1 | 114,119,395 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 101 | 505 | 1,313 | 6,565 | 17,383 | 86,915 | 225,979 | 1,129,895 | 1,755,683 | 8,778,415 | 22,823,879 | 114,119,395 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -101 | -505 | -1,313 | -6,565 | -17,383 | -86,915 | -225,979 | -1,129,895 | -1,755,683 | -8,778,415 | -22,823,879 | -114,119,395 |
