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 116,077,517, 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 | 116,077,517 | |
| -1 | -116,077,517 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 116,077,517.
Example:
1 x 116,077,517 = 116,077,517
and
-1 x -116,077,517 = 116,077,517
Notice both answers equal 116,077,517
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 116,077,517 and divide it by 2:
116,077,517 ÷ 2 = 58,038,758.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 58,038,758.5 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 | 116,077,517 | |
| -1 | -116,077,517 |
Now, we try dividing 116,077,517 by 3:
116,077,517 ÷ 3 = 38,692,505.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,692,505.6667 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 | 116,077,517 | |
| -1 | -116,077,517 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
116,077,517 ÷ 4 = 29,019,379.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 29,019,379.25 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 | 116,077,517 | |
| -1 | 116,077,517 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 29 | 293 | 551 | 719 | 5,567 | 8,497 | 13,661 | 20,851 | 161,443 | 210,667 | 396,169 | 4,002,673 | 6,109,343 | 116,077,517 |
| -1 | -19 | -29 | -293 | -551 | -719 | -5,567 | -8,497 | -13,661 | -20,851 | -161,443 | -210,667 | -396,169 | -4,002,673 | -6,109,343 | -116,077,517 |
