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 114,841,885, 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 | 114,841,885 | |
| -1 | -114,841,885 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,841,885.
Example:
1 x 114,841,885 = 114,841,885
and
-1 x -114,841,885 = 114,841,885
Notice both answers equal 114,841,885
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,841,885 and divide it by 2:
114,841,885 ÷ 2 = 57,420,942.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,420,942.5 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 | 114,841,885 | |
| -1 | -114,841,885 |
Now, we try dividing 114,841,885 by 3:
114,841,885 ÷ 3 = 38,280,628.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,280,628.3333 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 | 114,841,885 | |
| -1 | -114,841,885 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,841,885 ÷ 4 = 28,710,471.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,710,471.25 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 | 114,841,885 | |
| -1 | 114,841,885 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 29 | 85 | 145 | 493 | 2,465 | 46,589 | 232,945 | 792,013 | 1,351,081 | 3,960,065 | 6,755,405 | 22,968,377 | 114,841,885 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -29 | -85 | -145 | -493 | -2,465 | -46,589 | -232,945 | -792,013 | -1,351,081 | -3,960,065 | -6,755,405 | -22,968,377 | -114,841,885 |
