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 116,653,535, 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 | 116,653,535 | |
| -1 | -116,653,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 116,653,535.
Example:
1 x 116,653,535 = 116,653,535
and
-1 x -116,653,535 = 116,653,535
Notice both answers equal 116,653,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 116,653,535 and divide it by 2:
116,653,535 ÷ 2 = 58,326,767.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 58,326,767.5 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 | 116,653,535 | |
| -1 | -116,653,535 |
Now, we try dividing 116,653,535 by 3:
116,653,535 ÷ 3 = 38,884,511.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,884,511.6667 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 | 116,653,535 | |
| -1 | -116,653,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
116,653,535 ÷ 4 = 29,163,383.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 29,163,383.75 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 | 116,653,535 | |
| -1 | 116,653,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 131 | 313 | 569 | 655 | 1,565 | 2,845 | 41,003 | 74,539 | 178,097 | 205,015 | 372,695 | 890,485 | 23,330,707 | 116,653,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -131 | -313 | -569 | -655 | -1,565 | -2,845 | -41,003 | -74,539 | -178,097 | -205,015 | -372,695 | -890,485 | -23,330,707 | -116,653,535 |
