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 116,456,035, 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 | 116,456,035 | |
| -1 | -116,456,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 116,456,035.
Example:
1 x 116,456,035 = 116,456,035
and
-1 x -116,456,035 = 116,456,035
Notice both answers equal 116,456,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 116,456,035 and divide it by 2:
116,456,035 ÷ 2 = 58,228,017.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 58,228,017.5 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 | 116,456,035 | |
| -1 | -116,456,035 |
Now, we try dividing 116,456,035 by 3:
116,456,035 ÷ 3 = 38,818,678.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,818,678.3333 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 | 116,456,035 | |
| -1 | -116,456,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
116,456,035 ÷ 4 = 29,114,008.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 29,114,008.75 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 | 116,456,035 | |
| -1 | 116,456,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 19 | 85 | 95 | 323 | 1,615 | 72,109 | 360,545 | 1,225,853 | 1,370,071 | 6,129,265 | 6,850,355 | 23,291,207 | 116,456,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -19 | -85 | -95 | -323 | -1,615 | -72,109 | -360,545 | -1,225,853 | -1,370,071 | -6,129,265 | -6,850,355 | -23,291,207 | -116,456,035 |
