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 115,606,511, 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 | 115,606,511 | |
| -1 | -115,606,511 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 115,606,511.
Example:
1 x 115,606,511 = 115,606,511
and
-1 x -115,606,511 = 115,606,511
Notice both answers equal 115,606,511
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 115,606,511 and divide it by 2:
115,606,511 ÷ 2 = 57,803,255.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,803,255.5 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 | 115,606,511 | |
| -1 | -115,606,511 |
Now, we try dividing 115,606,511 by 3:
115,606,511 ÷ 3 = 38,535,503.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,535,503.6667 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 | 115,606,511 | |
| -1 | -115,606,511 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
115,606,511 ÷ 4 = 28,901,627.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,901,627.75 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 | 115,606,511 | |
| -1 | 115,606,511 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 41 | 47 | 697 | 799 | 1,927 | 3,529 | 32,759 | 59,993 | 144,689 | 165,863 | 2,459,713 | 2,819,671 | 6,800,383 | 115,606,511 |
| -1 | -17 | -41 | -47 | -697 | -799 | -1,927 | -3,529 | -32,759 | -59,993 | -144,689 | -165,863 | -2,459,713 | -2,819,671 | -6,800,383 | -115,606,511 |
