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 115,502,653, 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 | 115,502,653 | |
| -1 | -115,502,653 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 115,502,653.
Example:
1 x 115,502,653 = 115,502,653
and
-1 x -115,502,653 = 115,502,653
Notice both answers equal 115,502,653
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 115,502,653 and divide it by 2:
115,502,653 ÷ 2 = 57,751,326.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,751,326.5 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 | 115,502,653 | |
| -1 | -115,502,653 |
Now, we try dividing 115,502,653 by 3:
115,502,653 ÷ 3 = 38,500,884.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,500,884.3333 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 | 115,502,653 | |
| -1 | -115,502,653 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
115,502,653 ÷ 4 = 28,875,663.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,875,663.25 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 | 115,502,653 | |
| -1 | 115,502,653 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 49 | 97 | 133 | 679 | 931 | 1,279 | 1,843 | 4,753 | 8,953 | 12,901 | 24,301 | 62,671 | 90,307 | 124,063 | 170,107 | 868,441 | 1,190,749 | 2,357,197 | 6,079,087 | 16,500,379 | 115,502,653 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -49 | -97 | -133 | -679 | -931 | -1,279 | -1,843 | -4,753 | -8,953 | -12,901 | -24,301 | -62,671 | -90,307 | -124,063 | -170,107 | -868,441 | -1,190,749 | -2,357,197 | -6,079,087 | -16,500,379 | -115,502,653 |
