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 114,324,145, 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 | 114,324,145 | |
| -1 | -114,324,145 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,324,145.
Example:
1 x 114,324,145 = 114,324,145
and
-1 x -114,324,145 = 114,324,145
Notice both answers equal 114,324,145
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,324,145 and divide it by 2:
114,324,145 ÷ 2 = 57,162,072.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,162,072.5 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 | 114,324,145 | |
| -1 | -114,324,145 |
Now, we try dividing 114,324,145 by 3:
114,324,145 ÷ 3 = 38,108,048.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,108,048.3333 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 | 114,324,145 | |
| -1 | -114,324,145 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,324,145 ÷ 4 = 28,581,036.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,581,036.25 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 | 114,324,145 | |
| -1 | 114,324,145 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 23 | 65 | 115 | 299 | 1,495 | 76,471 | 382,355 | 994,123 | 1,758,833 | 4,970,615 | 8,794,165 | 22,864,829 | 114,324,145 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -23 | -65 | -115 | -299 | -1,495 | -76,471 | -382,355 | -994,123 | -1,758,833 | -4,970,615 | -8,794,165 | -22,864,829 | -114,324,145 |
