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 114,530,135, 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 | 114,530,135 | |
| -1 | -114,530,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,530,135.
Example:
1 x 114,530,135 = 114,530,135
and
-1 x -114,530,135 = 114,530,135
Notice both answers equal 114,530,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,530,135 and divide it by 2:
114,530,135 ÷ 2 = 57,265,067.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,265,067.5 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 | 114,530,135 | |
| -1 | -114,530,135 |
Now, we try dividing 114,530,135 by 3:
114,530,135 ÷ 3 = 38,176,711.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,176,711.6667 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 | 114,530,135 | |
| -1 | -114,530,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,530,135 ÷ 4 = 28,632,533.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,632,533.75 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 | 114,530,135 | |
| -1 | 114,530,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 67 | 145 | 335 | 1,943 | 9,715 | 11,789 | 58,945 | 341,881 | 789,863 | 1,709,405 | 3,949,315 | 22,906,027 | 114,530,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -67 | -145 | -335 | -1,943 | -9,715 | -11,789 | -58,945 | -341,881 | -789,863 | -1,709,405 | -3,949,315 | -22,906,027 | -114,530,135 |
