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 114,145,115, 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 | 114,145,115 | |
| -1 | -114,145,115 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,145,115.
Example:
1 x 114,145,115 = 114,145,115
and
-1 x -114,145,115 = 114,145,115
Notice both answers equal 114,145,115
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,145,115 and divide it by 2:
114,145,115 ÷ 2 = 57,072,557.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,072,557.5 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 | 114,145,115 | |
| -1 | -114,145,115 |
Now, we try dividing 114,145,115 by 3:
114,145,115 ÷ 3 = 38,048,371.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,048,371.6667 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 | 114,145,115 | |
| -1 | -114,145,115 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,145,115 ÷ 4 = 28,536,278.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,536,278.75 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 | 114,145,115 | |
| -1 | 114,145,115 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 103 | 515 | 721 | 3,605 | 31,663 | 158,315 | 221,641 | 1,108,205 | 3,261,289 | 16,306,445 | 22,829,023 | 114,145,115 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -103 | -515 | -721 | -3,605 | -31,663 | -158,315 | -221,641 | -1,108,205 | -3,261,289 | -16,306,445 | -22,829,023 | -114,145,115 |
