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 114,850,225, 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 | 114,850,225 | |
| -1 | -114,850,225 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,850,225.
Example:
1 x 114,850,225 = 114,850,225
and
-1 x -114,850,225 = 114,850,225
Notice both answers equal 114,850,225
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,850,225 and divide it by 2:
114,850,225 ÷ 2 = 57,425,112.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,425,112.5 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 | 114,850,225 | |
| -1 | -114,850,225 |
Now, we try dividing 114,850,225 by 3:
114,850,225 ÷ 3 = 38,283,408.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,283,408.3333 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 | 114,850,225 | |
| -1 | -114,850,225 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,850,225 ÷ 4 = 28,712,556.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,712,556.25 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 | 114,850,225 | |
| -1 | 114,850,225 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 41 | 175 | 205 | 287 | 1,025 | 1,435 | 7,175 | 16,007 | 80,035 | 112,049 | 400,175 | 560,245 | 656,287 | 2,801,225 | 3,281,435 | 4,594,009 | 16,407,175 | 22,970,045 | 114,850,225 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -41 | -175 | -205 | -287 | -1,025 | -1,435 | -7,175 | -16,007 | -80,035 | -112,049 | -400,175 | -560,245 | -656,287 | -2,801,225 | -3,281,435 | -4,594,009 | -16,407,175 | -22,970,045 | -114,850,225 |
