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 116,551,375, 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 | 116,551,375 | |
| -1 | -116,551,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 116,551,375.
Example:
1 x 116,551,375 = 116,551,375
and
-1 x -116,551,375 = 116,551,375
Notice both answers equal 116,551,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 116,551,375 and divide it by 2:
116,551,375 ÷ 2 = 58,275,687.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 58,275,687.5 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 | 116,551,375 | |
| -1 | -116,551,375 |
Now, we try dividing 116,551,375 by 3:
116,551,375 ÷ 3 = 38,850,458.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,850,458.3333 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 | 116,551,375 | |
| -1 | -116,551,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
116,551,375 ÷ 4 = 29,137,843.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 29,137,843.75 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 | 116,551,375 | |
| -1 | 116,551,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 179 | 895 | 4,475 | 5,209 | 22,375 | 26,045 | 130,225 | 651,125 | 932,411 | 4,662,055 | 23,310,275 | 116,551,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -179 | -895 | -4,475 | -5,209 | -22,375 | -26,045 | -130,225 | -651,125 | -932,411 | -4,662,055 | -23,310,275 | -116,551,375 |
