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 116,733,853, 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 | 116,733,853 | |
| -1 | -116,733,853 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 116,733,853.
Example:
1 x 116,733,853 = 116,733,853
and
-1 x -116,733,853 = 116,733,853
Notice both answers equal 116,733,853
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 116,733,853 and divide it by 2:
116,733,853 ÷ 2 = 58,366,926.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 58,366,926.5 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 | 116,733,853 | |
| -1 | -116,733,853 |
Now, we try dividing 116,733,853 by 3:
116,733,853 ÷ 3 = 38,911,284.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,911,284.3333 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 | 116,733,853 | |
| -1 | -116,733,853 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
116,733,853 ÷ 4 = 29,183,463.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 29,183,463.25 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 | 116,733,853 | |
| -1 | 116,733,853 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 37 | 47 | 703 | 893 | 1,739 | 3,533 | 33,041 | 67,127 | 130,721 | 166,051 | 2,483,699 | 3,154,969 | 6,143,887 | 116,733,853 |
| -1 | -19 | -37 | -47 | -703 | -893 | -1,739 | -3,533 | -33,041 | -67,127 | -130,721 | -166,051 | -2,483,699 | -3,154,969 | -6,143,887 | -116,733,853 |
