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 114,950,345, 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 | 114,950,345 | |
| -1 | -114,950,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,950,345.
Example:
1 x 114,950,345 = 114,950,345
and
-1 x -114,950,345 = 114,950,345
Notice both answers equal 114,950,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,950,345 and divide it by 2:
114,950,345 ÷ 2 = 57,475,172.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,475,172.5 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 | 114,950,345 | |
| -1 | -114,950,345 |
Now, we try dividing 114,950,345 by 3:
114,950,345 ÷ 3 = 38,316,781.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,316,781.6667 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 | 114,950,345 | |
| -1 | -114,950,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,950,345 ÷ 4 = 28,737,586.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,737,586.25 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 | 114,950,345 | |
| -1 | 114,950,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 29 | 85 | 145 | 493 | 2,465 | 46,633 | 233,165 | 792,761 | 1,352,357 | 3,963,805 | 6,761,785 | 22,990,069 | 114,950,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -29 | -85 | -145 | -493 | -2,465 | -46,633 | -233,165 | -792,761 | -1,352,357 | -3,963,805 | -6,761,785 | -22,990,069 | -114,950,345 |
