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 116,023,565, 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 | 116,023,565 | |
| -1 | -116,023,565 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 116,023,565.
Example:
1 x 116,023,565 = 116,023,565
and
-1 x -116,023,565 = 116,023,565
Notice both answers equal 116,023,565
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 116,023,565 and divide it by 2:
116,023,565 ÷ 2 = 58,011,782.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 58,011,782.5 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 | 116,023,565 | |
| -1 | -116,023,565 |
Now, we try dividing 116,023,565 by 3:
116,023,565 ÷ 3 = 38,674,521.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,674,521.6667 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 | 116,023,565 | |
| -1 | -116,023,565 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
116,023,565 ÷ 4 = 29,005,891.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 29,005,891.25 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 | 116,023,565 | |
| -1 | 116,023,565 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 67 | 335 | 469 | 2,345 | 49,477 | 247,385 | 346,339 | 1,731,695 | 3,314,959 | 16,574,795 | 23,204,713 | 116,023,565 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -67 | -335 | -469 | -2,345 | -49,477 | -247,385 | -346,339 | -1,731,695 | -3,314,959 | -16,574,795 | -23,204,713 | -116,023,565 |
