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 116,823,343, 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 | 116,823,343 | |
| -1 | -116,823,343 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 116,823,343.
Example:
1 x 116,823,343 = 116,823,343
and
-1 x -116,823,343 = 116,823,343
Notice both answers equal 116,823,343
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 116,823,343 and divide it by 2:
116,823,343 ÷ 2 = 58,411,671.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 58,411,671.5 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 | 116,823,343 | |
| -1 | -116,823,343 |
Now, we try dividing 116,823,343 by 3:
116,823,343 ÷ 3 = 38,941,114.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,941,114.3333 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 | 116,823,343 | |
| -1 | -116,823,343 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
116,823,343 ÷ 4 = 29,205,835.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 29,205,835.75 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 | 116,823,343 | |
| -1 | 116,823,343 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 19 | 91 | 133 | 247 | 1,729 | 67,567 | 472,969 | 878,371 | 1,283,773 | 6,148,597 | 8,986,411 | 16,689,049 | 116,823,343 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -19 | -91 | -133 | -247 | -1,729 | -67,567 | -472,969 | -878,371 | -1,283,773 | -6,148,597 | -8,986,411 | -16,689,049 | -116,823,343 |
