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 115,112,333, 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 | 115,112,333 | |
| -1 | -115,112,333 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 115,112,333.
Example:
1 x 115,112,333 = 115,112,333
and
-1 x -115,112,333 = 115,112,333
Notice both answers equal 115,112,333
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 115,112,333 and divide it by 2:
115,112,333 ÷ 2 = 57,556,166.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,556,166.5 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 | 115,112,333 | |
| -1 | -115,112,333 |
Now, we try dividing 115,112,333 by 3:
115,112,333 ÷ 3 = 38,370,777.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,370,777.6667 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 | 115,112,333 | |
| -1 | -115,112,333 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
115,112,333 ÷ 4 = 28,778,083.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,778,083.25 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 | 115,112,333 | |
| -1 | 115,112,333 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 43 | 89 | 301 | 623 | 3,827 | 4,297 | 26,789 | 30,079 | 184,771 | 382,433 | 1,293,397 | 2,677,031 | 16,444,619 | 115,112,333 |
| -1 | -7 | -43 | -89 | -301 | -623 | -3,827 | -4,297 | -26,789 | -30,079 | -184,771 | -382,433 | -1,293,397 | -2,677,031 | -16,444,619 | -115,112,333 |
