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 114,123,329, 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 | 114,123,329 | |
| -1 | -114,123,329 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,123,329.
Example:
1 x 114,123,329 = 114,123,329
and
-1 x -114,123,329 = 114,123,329
Notice both answers equal 114,123,329
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,123,329 and divide it by 2:
114,123,329 ÷ 2 = 57,061,664.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,061,664.5 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 | 114,123,329 | |
| -1 | -114,123,329 |
Now, we try dividing 114,123,329 by 3:
114,123,329 ÷ 3 = 38,041,109.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,041,109.6667 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 | 114,123,329 | |
| -1 | -114,123,329 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,123,329 ÷ 4 = 28,530,832.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,530,832.25 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 | 114,123,329 | |
| -1 | 114,123,329 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 137 | 323 | 2,329 | 2,579 | 2,603 | 43,843 | 44,251 | 49,001 | 353,323 | 833,017 | 6,006,491 | 6,713,137 | 114,123,329 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -137 | -323 | -2,329 | -2,579 | -2,603 | -43,843 | -44,251 | -49,001 | -353,323 | -833,017 | -6,006,491 | -6,713,137 | -114,123,329 |
