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 114,572,125, 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 | 114,572,125 | |
| -1 | -114,572,125 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,572,125.
Example:
1 x 114,572,125 = 114,572,125
and
-1 x -114,572,125 = 114,572,125
Notice both answers equal 114,572,125
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,572,125 and divide it by 2:
114,572,125 ÷ 2 = 57,286,062.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,286,062.5 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 | 114,572,125 | |
| -1 | -114,572,125 |
Now, we try dividing 114,572,125 by 3:
114,572,125 ÷ 3 = 38,190,708.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,190,708.3333 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 | 114,572,125 | |
| -1 | -114,572,125 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,572,125 ÷ 4 = 28,643,031.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,643,031.25 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 | 114,572,125 | |
| -1 | 114,572,125 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 31 | 125 | 155 | 775 | 3,875 | 29,567 | 147,835 | 739,175 | 916,577 | 3,695,875 | 4,582,885 | 22,914,425 | 114,572,125 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -31 | -125 | -155 | -775 | -3,875 | -29,567 | -147,835 | -739,175 | -916,577 | -3,695,875 | -4,582,885 | -22,914,425 | -114,572,125 |
