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 116,114,581, 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 | 116,114,581 | |
| -1 | -116,114,581 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 116,114,581.
Example:
1 x 116,114,581 = 116,114,581
and
-1 x -116,114,581 = 116,114,581
Notice both answers equal 116,114,581
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 116,114,581 and divide it by 2:
116,114,581 ÷ 2 = 58,057,290.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 58,057,290.5 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 | 116,114,581 | |
| -1 | -116,114,581 |
Now, we try dividing 116,114,581 by 3:
116,114,581 ÷ 3 = 38,704,860.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,704,860.3333 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 | 116,114,581 | |
| -1 | -116,114,581 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
116,114,581 ÷ 4 = 29,028,645.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 29,028,645.25 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 | 116,114,581 | |
| -1 | 116,114,581 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 47 | 107 | 517 | 1,177 | 2,099 | 5,029 | 23,089 | 55,319 | 98,653 | 224,593 | 1,085,183 | 2,470,523 | 10,555,871 | 116,114,581 |
| -1 | -11 | -47 | -107 | -517 | -1,177 | -2,099 | -5,029 | -23,089 | -55,319 | -98,653 | -224,593 | -1,085,183 | -2,470,523 | -10,555,871 | -116,114,581 |
