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 114,262,505, 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 | 114,262,505 | |
| -1 | -114,262,505 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,262,505.
Example:
1 x 114,262,505 = 114,262,505
and
-1 x -114,262,505 = 114,262,505
Notice both answers equal 114,262,505
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,262,505 and divide it by 2:
114,262,505 ÷ 2 = 57,131,252.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,131,252.5 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 | 114,262,505 | |
| -1 | -114,262,505 |
Now, we try dividing 114,262,505 by 3:
114,262,505 ÷ 3 = 38,087,501.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,087,501.6667 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 | 114,262,505 | |
| -1 | -114,262,505 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,262,505 ÷ 4 = 28,565,626.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,565,626.25 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 | 114,262,505 | |
| -1 | 114,262,505 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 23 | 35 | 115 | 161 | 805 | 141,941 | 709,705 | 993,587 | 3,264,643 | 4,967,935 | 16,323,215 | 22,852,501 | 114,262,505 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -23 | -35 | -115 | -161 | -805 | -141,941 | -709,705 | -993,587 | -3,264,643 | -4,967,935 | -16,323,215 | -22,852,501 | -114,262,505 |
