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 114,233,233, 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 | 114,233,233 | |
| -1 | -114,233,233 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,233,233.
Example:
1 x 114,233,233 = 114,233,233
and
-1 x -114,233,233 = 114,233,233
Notice both answers equal 114,233,233
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,233,233 and divide it by 2:
114,233,233 ÷ 2 = 57,116,616.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,116,616.5 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 | 114,233,233 | |
| -1 | -114,233,233 |
Now, we try dividing 114,233,233 by 3:
114,233,233 ÷ 3 = 38,077,744.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,077,744.3333 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 | 114,233,233 | |
| -1 | -114,233,233 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,233,233 ÷ 4 = 28,558,308.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,558,308.25 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 | 114,233,233 | |
| -1 | 114,233,233 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 31 | 283 | 449 | 899 | 8,207 | 8,773 | 13,021 | 13,919 | 127,067 | 254,417 | 403,651 | 3,684,943 | 3,939,077 | 114,233,233 |
| -1 | -29 | -31 | -283 | -449 | -899 | -8,207 | -8,773 | -13,021 | -13,919 | -127,067 | -254,417 | -403,651 | -3,684,943 | -3,939,077 | -114,233,233 |
