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 114,331,441, 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 | 114,331,441 | |
| -1 | -114,331,441 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,331,441.
Example:
1 x 114,331,441 = 114,331,441
and
-1 x -114,331,441 = 114,331,441
Notice both answers equal 114,331,441
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,331,441 and divide it by 2:
114,331,441 ÷ 2 = 57,165,720.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,165,720.5 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 | 114,331,441 | |
| -1 | -114,331,441 |
Now, we try dividing 114,331,441 by 3:
114,331,441 ÷ 3 = 38,110,480.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,110,480.3333 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 | 114,331,441 | |
| -1 | -114,331,441 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,331,441 ÷ 4 = 28,582,860.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,582,860.25 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 | 114,331,441 | |
| -1 | 114,331,441 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 53 | 217 | 371 | 1,643 | 9,941 | 11,501 | 69,587 | 308,171 | 526,873 | 2,157,197 | 3,688,111 | 16,333,063 | 114,331,441 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -53 | -217 | -371 | -1,643 | -9,941 | -11,501 | -69,587 | -308,171 | -526,873 | -2,157,197 | -3,688,111 | -16,333,063 | -114,331,441 |
