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 114,155,705, 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 | 114,155,705 | |
| -1 | -114,155,705 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,155,705.
Example:
1 x 114,155,705 = 114,155,705
and
-1 x -114,155,705 = 114,155,705
Notice both answers equal 114,155,705
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,155,705 and divide it by 2:
114,155,705 ÷ 2 = 57,077,852.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,077,852.5 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 | 114,155,705 | |
| -1 | -114,155,705 |
Now, we try dividing 114,155,705 by 3:
114,155,705 ÷ 3 = 38,051,901.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,051,901.6667 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 | 114,155,705 | |
| -1 | -114,155,705 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,155,705 ÷ 4 = 28,538,926.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,538,926.25 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 | 114,155,705 | |
| -1 | 114,155,705 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 61 | 95 | 305 | 1,159 | 5,795 | 19,699 | 98,495 | 374,281 | 1,201,639 | 1,871,405 | 6,008,195 | 22,831,141 | 114,155,705 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -61 | -95 | -305 | -1,159 | -5,795 | -19,699 | -98,495 | -374,281 | -1,201,639 | -1,871,405 | -6,008,195 | -22,831,141 | -114,155,705 |
