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 115,502,233, 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 | 115,502,233 | |
| -1 | -115,502,233 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 115,502,233.
Example:
1 x 115,502,233 = 115,502,233
and
-1 x -115,502,233 = 115,502,233
Notice both answers equal 115,502,233
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 115,502,233 and divide it by 2:
115,502,233 ÷ 2 = 57,751,116.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,751,116.5 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 | 115,502,233 | |
| -1 | -115,502,233 |
Now, we try dividing 115,502,233 by 3:
115,502,233 ÷ 3 = 38,500,744.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,500,744.3333 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 | 115,502,233 | |
| -1 | -115,502,233 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
115,502,233 ÷ 4 = 28,875,558.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,875,558.25 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 | 115,502,233 | |
| -1 | 115,502,233 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 17 | 77 | 119 | 187 | 1,309 | 88,237 | 617,659 | 970,607 | 1,500,029 | 6,794,249 | 10,500,203 | 16,500,319 | 115,502,233 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -17 | -77 | -119 | -187 | -1,309 | -88,237 | -617,659 | -970,607 | -1,500,029 | -6,794,249 | -10,500,203 | -16,500,319 | -115,502,233 |
