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 114,304,223, 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 | 114,304,223 | |
| -1 | -114,304,223 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,304,223.
Example:
1 x 114,304,223 = 114,304,223
and
-1 x -114,304,223 = 114,304,223
Notice both answers equal 114,304,223
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,304,223 and divide it by 2:
114,304,223 ÷ 2 = 57,152,111.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,152,111.5 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 | 114,304,223 | |
| -1 | -114,304,223 |
Now, we try dividing 114,304,223 by 3:
114,304,223 ÷ 3 = 38,101,407.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,101,407.6667 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 | 114,304,223 | |
| -1 | -114,304,223 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,304,223 ÷ 4 = 28,576,055.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,576,055.75 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 | 114,304,223 | |
| -1 | 114,304,223 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 31 | 121 | 341 | 961 | 983 | 3,751 | 10,571 | 10,813 | 30,473 | 116,281 | 118,943 | 335,203 | 944,663 | 3,687,233 | 10,391,293 | 114,304,223 |
| -1 | -11 | -31 | -121 | -341 | -961 | -983 | -3,751 | -10,571 | -10,813 | -30,473 | -116,281 | -118,943 | -335,203 | -944,663 | -3,687,233 | -10,391,293 | -114,304,223 |
