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 114,331,315, 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 | 114,331,315 | |
| -1 | -114,331,315 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,331,315.
Example:
1 x 114,331,315 = 114,331,315
and
-1 x -114,331,315 = 114,331,315
Notice both answers equal 114,331,315
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,331,315 and divide it by 2:
114,331,315 ÷ 2 = 57,165,657.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,165,657.5 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 | 114,331,315 | |
| -1 | -114,331,315 |
Now, we try dividing 114,331,315 by 3:
114,331,315 ÷ 3 = 38,110,438.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,110,438.3333 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 | 114,331,315 | |
| -1 | -114,331,315 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,331,315 ÷ 4 = 28,582,828.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,582,828.75 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 | 114,331,315 | |
| -1 | 114,331,315 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 1,213 | 2,693 | 6,065 | 8,491 | 13,465 | 18,851 | 42,455 | 94,255 | 3,266,609 | 16,333,045 | 22,866,263 | 114,331,315 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -1,213 | -2,693 | -6,065 | -8,491 | -13,465 | -18,851 | -42,455 | -94,255 | -3,266,609 | -16,333,045 | -22,866,263 | -114,331,315 |
