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 114,444,239, 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 | 114,444,239 | |
| -1 | -114,444,239 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,444,239.
Example:
1 x 114,444,239 = 114,444,239
and
-1 x -114,444,239 = 114,444,239
Notice both answers equal 114,444,239
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,444,239 and divide it by 2:
114,444,239 ÷ 2 = 57,222,119.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,222,119.5 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 | 114,444,239 | |
| -1 | -114,444,239 |
Now, we try dividing 114,444,239 by 3:
114,444,239 ÷ 3 = 38,148,079.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,148,079.6667 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 | 114,444,239 | |
| -1 | -114,444,239 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,444,239 ÷ 4 = 28,611,059.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,611,059.75 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 | 114,444,239 | |
| -1 | 114,444,239 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 19 | 91 | 133 | 247 | 1,729 | 66,191 | 463,337 | 860,483 | 1,257,629 | 6,023,381 | 8,803,403 | 16,349,177 | 114,444,239 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -19 | -91 | -133 | -247 | -1,729 | -66,191 | -463,337 | -860,483 | -1,257,629 | -6,023,381 | -8,803,403 | -16,349,177 | -114,444,239 |
