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 114,601,355, 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 | 114,601,355 | |
| -1 | -114,601,355 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,601,355.
Example:
1 x 114,601,355 = 114,601,355
and
-1 x -114,601,355 = 114,601,355
Notice both answers equal 114,601,355
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,601,355 and divide it by 2:
114,601,355 ÷ 2 = 57,300,677.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,300,677.5 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 | 114,601,355 | |
| -1 | -114,601,355 |
Now, we try dividing 114,601,355 by 3:
114,601,355 ÷ 3 = 38,200,451.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,200,451.6667 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 | 114,601,355 | |
| -1 | -114,601,355 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,601,355 ÷ 4 = 28,650,338.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,650,338.75 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 | 114,601,355 | |
| -1 | 114,601,355 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 41 | 55 | 205 | 451 | 2,255 | 50,821 | 254,105 | 559,031 | 2,083,661 | 2,795,155 | 10,418,305 | 22,920,271 | 114,601,355 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -41 | -55 | -205 | -451 | -2,255 | -50,821 | -254,105 | -559,031 | -2,083,661 | -2,795,155 | -10,418,305 | -22,920,271 | -114,601,355 |
