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 116,601,065, 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 | 116,601,065 | |
| -1 | -116,601,065 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 116,601,065.
Example:
1 x 116,601,065 = 116,601,065
and
-1 x -116,601,065 = 116,601,065
Notice both answers equal 116,601,065
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 116,601,065 and divide it by 2:
116,601,065 ÷ 2 = 58,300,532.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 58,300,532.5 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 | 116,601,065 | |
| -1 | -116,601,065 |
Now, we try dividing 116,601,065 by 3:
116,601,065 ÷ 3 = 38,867,021.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,867,021.6667 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 | 116,601,065 | |
| -1 | -116,601,065 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
116,601,065 ÷ 4 = 29,150,266.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 29,150,266.25 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 | 116,601,065 | |
| -1 | 116,601,065 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 199 | 995 | 1,393 | 6,965 | 16,741 | 83,705 | 117,187 | 585,935 | 3,331,459 | 16,657,295 | 23,320,213 | 116,601,065 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -199 | -995 | -1,393 | -6,965 | -16,741 | -83,705 | -117,187 | -585,935 | -3,331,459 | -16,657,295 | -23,320,213 | -116,601,065 |
