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 114,132,755, 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 | 114,132,755 | |
| -1 | -114,132,755 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,132,755.
Example:
1 x 114,132,755 = 114,132,755
and
-1 x -114,132,755 = 114,132,755
Notice both answers equal 114,132,755
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,132,755 and divide it by 2:
114,132,755 ÷ 2 = 57,066,377.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,066,377.5 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 | 114,132,755 | |
| -1 | -114,132,755 |
Now, we try dividing 114,132,755 by 3:
114,132,755 ÷ 3 = 38,044,251.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,044,251.6667 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 | 114,132,755 | |
| -1 | -114,132,755 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,132,755 ÷ 4 = 28,533,188.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,533,188.75 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 | 114,132,755 | |
| -1 | 114,132,755 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 103 | 515 | 1,133 | 5,665 | 20,147 | 100,735 | 221,617 | 1,108,085 | 2,075,141 | 10,375,705 | 22,826,551 | 114,132,755 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -103 | -515 | -1,133 | -5,665 | -20,147 | -100,735 | -221,617 | -1,108,085 | -2,075,141 | -10,375,705 | -22,826,551 | -114,132,755 |
