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 116,574,139, 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 | 116,574,139 | |
| -1 | -116,574,139 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 116,574,139.
Example:
1 x 116,574,139 = 116,574,139
and
-1 x -116,574,139 = 116,574,139
Notice both answers equal 116,574,139
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 116,574,139 and divide it by 2:
116,574,139 ÷ 2 = 58,287,069.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 58,287,069.5 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 | 116,574,139 | |
| -1 | -116,574,139 |
Now, we try dividing 116,574,139 by 3:
116,574,139 ÷ 3 = 38,858,046.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,858,046.3333 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 | 116,574,139 | |
| -1 | -116,574,139 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
116,574,139 ÷ 4 = 29,143,534.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 29,143,534.75 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 | 116,574,139 | |
| -1 | 116,574,139 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 209 | 541 | 1,031 | 5,951 | 10,279 | 11,341 | 19,589 | 113,069 | 215,479 | 557,771 | 6,135,481 | 10,597,649 | 116,574,139 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -209 | -541 | -1,031 | -5,951 | -10,279 | -11,341 | -19,589 | -113,069 | -215,479 | -557,771 | -6,135,481 | -10,597,649 | -116,574,139 |
