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 114,672,245, 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 | 114,672,245 | |
| -1 | -114,672,245 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,672,245.
Example:
1 x 114,672,245 = 114,672,245
and
-1 x -114,672,245 = 114,672,245
Notice both answers equal 114,672,245
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,672,245 and divide it by 2:
114,672,245 ÷ 2 = 57,336,122.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,336,122.5 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 | 114,672,245 | |
| -1 | -114,672,245 |
Now, we try dividing 114,672,245 by 3:
114,672,245 ÷ 3 = 38,224,081.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,224,081.6667 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 | 114,672,245 | |
| -1 | -114,672,245 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,672,245 ÷ 4 = 28,668,061.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,668,061.25 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 | 114,672,245 | |
| -1 | 114,672,245 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 47 | 235 | 313 | 1,559 | 1,565 | 7,795 | 14,711 | 73,273 | 73,555 | 366,365 | 487,967 | 2,439,835 | 22,934,449 | 114,672,245 |
| -1 | -5 | -47 | -235 | -313 | -1,559 | -1,565 | -7,795 | -14,711 | -73,273 | -73,555 | -366,365 | -487,967 | -2,439,835 | -22,934,449 | -114,672,245 |
