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 115,232,359, 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 | 115,232,359 | |
| -1 | -115,232,359 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 115,232,359.
Example:
1 x 115,232,359 = 115,232,359
and
-1 x -115,232,359 = 115,232,359
Notice both answers equal 115,232,359
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 115,232,359 and divide it by 2:
115,232,359 ÷ 2 = 57,616,179.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,616,179.5 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 | 115,232,359 | |
| -1 | -115,232,359 |
Now, we try dividing 115,232,359 by 3:
115,232,359 ÷ 3 = 38,410,786.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,410,786.3333 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 | 115,232,359 | |
| -1 | -115,232,359 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
115,232,359 ÷ 4 = 28,808,089.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,808,089.75 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 | 115,232,359 | |
| -1 | 115,232,359 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 173 | 209 | 1,903 | 3,187 | 3,287 | 35,057 | 36,157 | 60,553 | 551,351 | 666,083 | 6,064,861 | 10,475,669 | 115,232,359 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -173 | -209 | -1,903 | -3,187 | -3,287 | -35,057 | -36,157 | -60,553 | -551,351 | -666,083 | -6,064,861 | -10,475,669 | -115,232,359 |
