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 114,544,217, 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 | 114,544,217 | |
| -1 | -114,544,217 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,544,217.
Example:
1 x 114,544,217 = 114,544,217
and
-1 x -114,544,217 = 114,544,217
Notice both answers equal 114,544,217
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,544,217 and divide it by 2:
114,544,217 ÷ 2 = 57,272,108.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,272,108.5 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 | 114,544,217 | |
| -1 | -114,544,217 |
Now, we try dividing 114,544,217 by 3:
114,544,217 ÷ 3 = 38,181,405.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,181,405.6667 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 | 114,544,217 | |
| -1 | -114,544,217 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,544,217 ÷ 4 = 28,636,054.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,636,054.25 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 | 114,544,217 | |
| -1 | 114,544,217 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 43 | 47 | 157 | 361 | 817 | 893 | 2,021 | 2,983 | 6,751 | 7,379 | 15,523 | 16,967 | 38,399 | 56,677 | 128,269 | 140,201 | 317,297 | 729,581 | 2,437,111 | 2,663,819 | 6,028,643 | 114,544,217 |
| -1 | -19 | -43 | -47 | -157 | -361 | -817 | -893 | -2,021 | -2,983 | -6,751 | -7,379 | -15,523 | -16,967 | -38,399 | -56,677 | -128,269 | -140,201 | -317,297 | -729,581 | -2,437,111 | -2,663,819 | -6,028,643 | -114,544,217 |
