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 114,423,715, 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 | 114,423,715 | |
| -1 | -114,423,715 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,423,715.
Example:
1 x 114,423,715 = 114,423,715
and
-1 x -114,423,715 = 114,423,715
Notice both answers equal 114,423,715
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,423,715 and divide it by 2:
114,423,715 ÷ 2 = 57,211,857.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,211,857.5 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 | 114,423,715 | |
| -1 | -114,423,715 |
Now, we try dividing 114,423,715 by 3:
114,423,715 ÷ 3 = 38,141,238.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,141,238.3333 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 | 114,423,715 | |
| -1 | -114,423,715 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,423,715 ÷ 4 = 28,605,928.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,605,928.75 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 | 114,423,715 | |
| -1 | 114,423,715 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 59 | 295 | 413 | 2,065 | 55,411 | 277,055 | 387,877 | 1,939,385 | 3,269,249 | 16,346,245 | 22,884,743 | 114,423,715 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -59 | -295 | -413 | -2,065 | -55,411 | -277,055 | -387,877 | -1,939,385 | -3,269,249 | -16,346,245 | -22,884,743 | -114,423,715 |
