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 114,312,233, 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 | 114,312,233 | |
| -1 | -114,312,233 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,312,233.
Example:
1 x 114,312,233 = 114,312,233
and
-1 x -114,312,233 = 114,312,233
Notice both answers equal 114,312,233
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,312,233 and divide it by 2:
114,312,233 ÷ 2 = 57,156,116.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,156,116.5 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 | 114,312,233 | |
| -1 | -114,312,233 |
Now, we try dividing 114,312,233 by 3:
114,312,233 ÷ 3 = 38,104,077.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,104,077.6667 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 | 114,312,233 | |
| -1 | -114,312,233 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,312,233 ÷ 4 = 28,578,058.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,578,058.25 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 | 114,312,233 | |
| -1 | 114,312,233 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 73 | 119 | 511 | 1,241 | 8,687 | 13,159 | 92,113 | 223,703 | 960,607 | 1,565,921 | 6,724,249 | 16,330,319 | 114,312,233 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -73 | -119 | -511 | -1,241 | -8,687 | -13,159 | -92,113 | -223,703 | -960,607 | -1,565,921 | -6,724,249 | -16,330,319 | -114,312,233 |
