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 116,316,629, 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 | 116,316,629 | |
| -1 | -116,316,629 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 116,316,629.
Example:
1 x 116,316,629 = 116,316,629
and
-1 x -116,316,629 = 116,316,629
Notice both answers equal 116,316,629
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 116,316,629 and divide it by 2:
116,316,629 ÷ 2 = 58,158,314.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 58,158,314.5 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 | 116,316,629 | |
| -1 | -116,316,629 |
Now, we try dividing 116,316,629 by 3:
116,316,629 ÷ 3 = 38,772,209.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,772,209.6667 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 | 116,316,629 | |
| -1 | -116,316,629 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
116,316,629 ÷ 4 = 29,079,157.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 29,079,157.25 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 | 116,316,629 | |
| -1 | 116,316,629 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 143 | 233 | 2,563 | 3,029 | 3,491 | 33,319 | 38,401 | 45,383 | 499,213 | 813,403 | 8,947,433 | 10,574,239 | 116,316,629 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -143 | -233 | -2,563 | -3,029 | -3,491 | -33,319 | -38,401 | -45,383 | -499,213 | -813,403 | -8,947,433 | -10,574,239 | -116,316,629 |
