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 114,767,023, 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 | 114,767,023 | |
| -1 | -114,767,023 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,767,023.
Example:
1 x 114,767,023 = 114,767,023
and
-1 x -114,767,023 = 114,767,023
Notice both answers equal 114,767,023
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,767,023 and divide it by 2:
114,767,023 ÷ 2 = 57,383,511.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,383,511.5 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 | 114,767,023 | |
| -1 | -114,767,023 |
Now, we try dividing 114,767,023 by 3:
114,767,023 ÷ 3 = 38,255,674.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,255,674.3333 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 | 114,767,023 | |
| -1 | -114,767,023 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,767,023 ÷ 4 = 28,691,755.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,691,755.75 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 | 114,767,023 | |
| -1 | 114,767,023 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 73 | 107 | 511 | 749 | 2,099 | 7,811 | 14,693 | 54,677 | 153,227 | 224,593 | 1,072,589 | 1,572,151 | 16,395,289 | 114,767,023 |
| -1 | -7 | -73 | -107 | -511 | -749 | -2,099 | -7,811 | -14,693 | -54,677 | -153,227 | -224,593 | -1,072,589 | -1,572,151 | -16,395,289 | -114,767,023 |
