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 114,262,031, 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 | 114,262,031 | |
| -1 | -114,262,031 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,262,031.
Example:
1 x 114,262,031 = 114,262,031
and
-1 x -114,262,031 = 114,262,031
Notice both answers equal 114,262,031
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,262,031 and divide it by 2:
114,262,031 ÷ 2 = 57,131,015.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,131,015.5 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 | 114,262,031 | |
| -1 | -114,262,031 |
Now, we try dividing 114,262,031 by 3:
114,262,031 ÷ 3 = 38,087,343.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,087,343.6667 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 | 114,262,031 | |
| -1 | -114,262,031 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,262,031 ÷ 4 = 28,565,507.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,565,507.75 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 | 114,262,031 | |
| -1 | 114,262,031 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 37 | 139 | 481 | 1,709 | 1,807 | 5,143 | 22,217 | 63,233 | 66,859 | 237,551 | 822,029 | 3,088,163 | 8,789,387 | 114,262,031 |
| -1 | -13 | -37 | -139 | -481 | -1,709 | -1,807 | -5,143 | -22,217 | -63,233 | -66,859 | -237,551 | -822,029 | -3,088,163 | -8,789,387 | -114,262,031 |
