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 116,527,867, 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 | 116,527,867 | |
| -1 | -116,527,867 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 116,527,867.
Example:
1 x 116,527,867 = 116,527,867
and
-1 x -116,527,867 = 116,527,867
Notice both answers equal 116,527,867
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 116,527,867 and divide it by 2:
116,527,867 ÷ 2 = 58,263,933.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 58,263,933.5 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 | 116,527,867 | |
| -1 | -116,527,867 |
Now, we try dividing 116,527,867 by 3:
116,527,867 ÷ 3 = 38,842,622.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,842,622.3333 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 | 116,527,867 | |
| -1 | -116,527,867 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
116,527,867 ÷ 4 = 29,131,966.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 29,131,966.75 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 | 116,527,867 | |
| -1 | 116,527,867 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 53 | 109 | 877 | 1,219 | 2,507 | 5,777 | 20,171 | 46,481 | 95,593 | 132,871 | 1,069,063 | 2,198,639 | 5,066,429 | 116,527,867 |
| -1 | -23 | -53 | -109 | -877 | -1,219 | -2,507 | -5,777 | -20,171 | -46,481 | -95,593 | -132,871 | -1,069,063 | -2,198,639 | -5,066,429 | -116,527,867 |
