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 116,701,277, 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 | 116,701,277 | |
| -1 | -116,701,277 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 116,701,277.
Example:
1 x 116,701,277 = 116,701,277
and
-1 x -116,701,277 = 116,701,277
Notice both answers equal 116,701,277
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 116,701,277 and divide it by 2:
116,701,277 ÷ 2 = 58,350,638.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 58,350,638.5 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 | 116,701,277 | |
| -1 | -116,701,277 |
Now, we try dividing 116,701,277 by 3:
116,701,277 ÷ 3 = 38,900,425.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,900,425.6667 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 | 116,701,277 | |
| -1 | -116,701,277 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
116,701,277 ÷ 4 = 29,175,319.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 29,175,319.25 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 | 116,701,277 | |
| -1 | 116,701,277 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 17 | 77 | 119 | 187 | 1,309 | 89,153 | 624,071 | 980,683 | 1,515,601 | 6,864,781 | 10,609,207 | 16,671,611 | 116,701,277 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -17 | -77 | -119 | -187 | -1,309 | -89,153 | -624,071 | -980,683 | -1,515,601 | -6,864,781 | -10,609,207 | -16,671,611 | -116,701,277 |
