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 114,357,305, 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 | 114,357,305 | |
| -1 | -114,357,305 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,357,305.
Example:
1 x 114,357,305 = 114,357,305
and
-1 x -114,357,305 = 114,357,305
Notice both answers equal 114,357,305
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,357,305 and divide it by 2:
114,357,305 ÷ 2 = 57,178,652.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,178,652.5 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 | 114,357,305 | |
| -1 | -114,357,305 |
Now, we try dividing 114,357,305 by 3:
114,357,305 ÷ 3 = 38,119,101.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,119,101.6667 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 | 114,357,305 | |
| -1 | -114,357,305 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,357,305 ÷ 4 = 28,589,326.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,589,326.25 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 | 114,357,305 | |
| -1 | 114,357,305 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 53 | 265 | 439 | 983 | 2,195 | 4,915 | 23,267 | 52,099 | 116,335 | 260,495 | 431,537 | 2,157,685 | 22,871,461 | 114,357,305 |
| -1 | -5 | -53 | -265 | -439 | -983 | -2,195 | -4,915 | -23,267 | -52,099 | -116,335 | -260,495 | -431,537 | -2,157,685 | -22,871,461 | -114,357,305 |
