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 114,244,039, 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 | 114,244,039 | |
| -1 | -114,244,039 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,244,039.
Example:
1 x 114,244,039 = 114,244,039
and
-1 x -114,244,039 = 114,244,039
Notice both answers equal 114,244,039
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,244,039 and divide it by 2:
114,244,039 ÷ 2 = 57,122,019.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,122,019.5 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 | 114,244,039 | |
| -1 | -114,244,039 |
Now, we try dividing 114,244,039 by 3:
114,244,039 ÷ 3 = 38,081,346.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,081,346.3333 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 | 114,244,039 | |
| -1 | -114,244,039 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,244,039 ÷ 4 = 28,561,009.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,561,009.75 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 | 114,244,039 | |
| -1 | 114,244,039 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 49 | 91 | 343 | 637 | 4,459 | 25,621 | 179,347 | 333,073 | 1,255,429 | 2,331,511 | 8,788,003 | 16,320,577 | 114,244,039 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -49 | -91 | -343 | -637 | -4,459 | -25,621 | -179,347 | -333,073 | -1,255,429 | -2,331,511 | -8,788,003 | -16,320,577 | -114,244,039 |
