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 114,420,631, 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 | 114,420,631 | |
| -1 | -114,420,631 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,420,631.
Example:
1 x 114,420,631 = 114,420,631
and
-1 x -114,420,631 = 114,420,631
Notice both answers equal 114,420,631
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,420,631 and divide it by 2:
114,420,631 ÷ 2 = 57,210,315.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,210,315.5 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 | 114,420,631 | |
| -1 | -114,420,631 |
Now, we try dividing 114,420,631 by 3:
114,420,631 ÷ 3 = 38,140,210.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,140,210.3333 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 | 114,420,631 | |
| -1 | -114,420,631 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,420,631 ÷ 4 = 28,605,157.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,605,157.75 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 | 114,420,631 | |
| -1 | 114,420,631 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 29 | 223 | 377 | 1,361 | 2,899 | 6,467 | 17,693 | 39,469 | 84,071 | 303,503 | 513,097 | 3,945,539 | 8,801,587 | 114,420,631 |
| -1 | -13 | -29 | -223 | -377 | -1,361 | -2,899 | -6,467 | -17,693 | -39,469 | -84,071 | -303,503 | -513,097 | -3,945,539 | -8,801,587 | -114,420,631 |
