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 114,572,041, 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 | 114,572,041 | |
| -1 | -114,572,041 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,572,041.
Example:
1 x 114,572,041 = 114,572,041
and
-1 x -114,572,041 = 114,572,041
Notice both answers equal 114,572,041
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,572,041 and divide it by 2:
114,572,041 ÷ 2 = 57,286,020.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,286,020.5 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 | 114,572,041 | |
| -1 | -114,572,041 |
Now, we try dividing 114,572,041 by 3:
114,572,041 ÷ 3 = 38,190,680.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,190,680.3333 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 | 114,572,041 | |
| -1 | -114,572,041 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,572,041 ÷ 4 = 28,643,010.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,643,010.25 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 | 114,572,041 | |
| -1 | 114,572,041 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 47 | 59 | 79 | 523 | 2,773 | 3,713 | 4,661 | 24,581 | 30,857 | 41,317 | 219,067 | 1,450,279 | 1,941,899 | 2,437,703 | 114,572,041 |
| -1 | -47 | -59 | -79 | -523 | -2,773 | -3,713 | -4,661 | -24,581 | -30,857 | -41,317 | -219,067 | -1,450,279 | -1,941,899 | -2,437,703 | -114,572,041 |
