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 114,436,061, 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 | 114,436,061 | |
| -1 | -114,436,061 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,436,061.
Example:
1 x 114,436,061 = 114,436,061
and
-1 x -114,436,061 = 114,436,061
Notice both answers equal 114,436,061
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,436,061 and divide it by 2:
114,436,061 ÷ 2 = 57,218,030.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,218,030.5 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 | 114,436,061 | |
| -1 | -114,436,061 |
Now, we try dividing 114,436,061 by 3:
114,436,061 ÷ 3 = 38,145,353.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,145,353.6667 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 | 114,436,061 | |
| -1 | -114,436,061 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,436,061 ÷ 4 = 28,609,015.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,609,015.25 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 | 114,436,061 | |
| -1 | 114,436,061 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 61 | 211 | 523 | 1,037 | 3,587 | 8,891 | 12,871 | 31,903 | 110,353 | 218,807 | 542,351 | 1,876,001 | 6,731,533 | 114,436,061 |
| -1 | -17 | -61 | -211 | -523 | -1,037 | -3,587 | -8,891 | -12,871 | -31,903 | -110,353 | -218,807 | -542,351 | -1,876,001 | -6,731,533 | -114,436,061 |
