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 114,326,345, 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 | 114,326,345 | |
| -1 | -114,326,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,326,345.
Example:
1 x 114,326,345 = 114,326,345
and
-1 x -114,326,345 = 114,326,345
Notice both answers equal 114,326,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,326,345 and divide it by 2:
114,326,345 ÷ 2 = 57,163,172.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,163,172.5 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 | 114,326,345 | |
| -1 | -114,326,345 |
Now, we try dividing 114,326,345 by 3:
114,326,345 ÷ 3 = 38,108,781.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,108,781.6667 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 | 114,326,345 | |
| -1 | -114,326,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,326,345 ÷ 4 = 28,581,586.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,581,586.25 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 | 114,326,345 | |
| -1 | 114,326,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 269 | 1,345 | 1,883 | 9,415 | 12,143 | 60,715 | 85,001 | 425,005 | 3,266,467 | 16,332,335 | 22,865,269 | 114,326,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -269 | -1,345 | -1,883 | -9,415 | -12,143 | -60,715 | -85,001 | -425,005 | -3,266,467 | -16,332,335 | -22,865,269 | -114,326,345 |
