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 114,261,719, 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 | 114,261,719 | |
| -1 | -114,261,719 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,261,719.
Example:
1 x 114,261,719 = 114,261,719
and
-1 x -114,261,719 = 114,261,719
Notice both answers equal 114,261,719
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,261,719 and divide it by 2:
114,261,719 ÷ 2 = 57,130,859.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,130,859.5 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 | 114,261,719 | |
| -1 | -114,261,719 |
Now, we try dividing 114,261,719 by 3:
114,261,719 ÷ 3 = 38,087,239.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,087,239.6667 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 | 114,261,719 | |
| -1 | -114,261,719 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,261,719 ÷ 4 = 28,565,429.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,565,429.75 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 | 114,261,719 | |
| -1 | 114,261,719 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 143 | 419 | 1,907 | 4,609 | 5,447 | 20,977 | 24,791 | 59,917 | 272,701 | 799,033 | 8,789,363 | 10,387,429 | 114,261,719 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -143 | -419 | -1,907 | -4,609 | -5,447 | -20,977 | -24,791 | -59,917 | -272,701 | -799,033 | -8,789,363 | -10,387,429 | -114,261,719 |
