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 114,704,603, 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 | 114,704,603 | |
| -1 | -114,704,603 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,704,603.
Example:
1 x 114,704,603 = 114,704,603
and
-1 x -114,704,603 = 114,704,603
Notice both answers equal 114,704,603
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,704,603 and divide it by 2:
114,704,603 ÷ 2 = 57,352,301.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,352,301.5 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 | 114,704,603 | |
| -1 | -114,704,603 |
Now, we try dividing 114,704,603 by 3:
114,704,603 ÷ 3 = 38,234,867.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,234,867.6667 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 | 114,704,603 | |
| -1 | -114,704,603 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,704,603 ÷ 4 = 28,676,150.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,676,150.75 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 | 114,704,603 | |
| -1 | 114,704,603 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 67 | 79 | 871 | 1,027 | 1,667 | 5,293 | 21,671 | 68,809 | 111,689 | 131,693 | 1,451,957 | 1,712,009 | 8,823,431 | 114,704,603 |
| -1 | -13 | -67 | -79 | -871 | -1,027 | -1,667 | -5,293 | -21,671 | -68,809 | -111,689 | -131,693 | -1,451,957 | -1,712,009 | -8,823,431 | -114,704,603 |
