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 115,677,133, 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 | 115,677,133 | |
| -1 | -115,677,133 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 115,677,133.
Example:
1 x 115,677,133 = 115,677,133
and
-1 x -115,677,133 = 115,677,133
Notice both answers equal 115,677,133
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 115,677,133 and divide it by 2:
115,677,133 ÷ 2 = 57,838,566.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,838,566.5 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 | 115,677,133 | |
| -1 | -115,677,133 |
Now, we try dividing 115,677,133 by 3:
115,677,133 ÷ 3 = 38,559,044.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,559,044.3333 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 | 115,677,133 | |
| -1 | -115,677,133 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
115,677,133 ÷ 4 = 28,919,283.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,919,283.25 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 | 115,677,133 | |
| -1 | 115,677,133 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 37 | 143 | 407 | 481 | 5,291 | 21,863 | 240,493 | 284,219 | 808,931 | 3,126,409 | 8,898,241 | 10,516,103 | 115,677,133 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -37 | -143 | -407 | -481 | -5,291 | -21,863 | -240,493 | -284,219 | -808,931 | -3,126,409 | -8,898,241 | -10,516,103 | -115,677,133 |
