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 116,429,525, 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 | 116,429,525 | |
| -1 | -116,429,525 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 116,429,525.
Example:
1 x 116,429,525 = 116,429,525
and
-1 x -116,429,525 = 116,429,525
Notice both answers equal 116,429,525
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 116,429,525 and divide it by 2:
116,429,525 ÷ 2 = 58,214,762.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 58,214,762.5 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 | 116,429,525 | |
| -1 | -116,429,525 |
Now, we try dividing 116,429,525 by 3:
116,429,525 ÷ 3 = 38,809,841.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,809,841.6667 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 | 116,429,525 | |
| -1 | -116,429,525 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
116,429,525 ÷ 4 = 29,107,381.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 29,107,381.25 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 | 116,429,525 | |
| -1 | 116,429,525 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 73 | 131 | 365 | 487 | 655 | 1,825 | 2,435 | 3,275 | 9,563 | 12,175 | 35,551 | 47,815 | 63,797 | 177,755 | 239,075 | 318,985 | 888,775 | 1,594,925 | 4,657,181 | 23,285,905 | 116,429,525 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -73 | -131 | -365 | -487 | -655 | -1,825 | -2,435 | -3,275 | -9,563 | -12,175 | -35,551 | -47,815 | -63,797 | -177,755 | -239,075 | -318,985 | -888,775 | -1,594,925 | -4,657,181 | -23,285,905 | -116,429,525 |
