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 116,760,305, 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 | 116,760,305 | |
| -1 | -116,760,305 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 116,760,305.
Example:
1 x 116,760,305 = 116,760,305
and
-1 x -116,760,305 = 116,760,305
Notice both answers equal 116,760,305
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 116,760,305 and divide it by 2:
116,760,305 ÷ 2 = 58,380,152.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 58,380,152.5 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 | 116,760,305 | |
| -1 | -116,760,305 |
Now, we try dividing 116,760,305 by 3:
116,760,305 ÷ 3 = 38,920,101.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,920,101.6667 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 | 116,760,305 | |
| -1 | -116,760,305 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
116,760,305 ÷ 4 = 29,190,076.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 29,190,076.25 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 | 116,760,305 | |
| -1 | 116,760,305 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 115 | 137 | 685 | 3,151 | 7,411 | 15,755 | 37,055 | 170,453 | 852,265 | 1,015,307 | 5,076,535 | 23,352,061 | 116,760,305 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -115 | -137 | -685 | -3,151 | -7,411 | -15,755 | -37,055 | -170,453 | -852,265 | -1,015,307 | -5,076,535 | -23,352,061 | -116,760,305 |
