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 116,832,335, 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 | 116,832,335 | |
| -1 | -116,832,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 116,832,335.
Example:
1 x 116,832,335 = 116,832,335
and
-1 x -116,832,335 = 116,832,335
Notice both answers equal 116,832,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 116,832,335 and divide it by 2:
116,832,335 ÷ 2 = 58,416,167.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 58,416,167.5 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 | 116,832,335 | |
| -1 | -116,832,335 |
Now, we try dividing 116,832,335 by 3:
116,832,335 ÷ 3 = 38,944,111.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,944,111.6667 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 | 116,832,335 | |
| -1 | -116,832,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
116,832,335 ÷ 4 = 29,208,083.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 29,208,083.75 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 | 116,832,335 | |
| -1 | 116,832,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 155 | 157 | 785 | 4,801 | 4,867 | 24,005 | 24,335 | 148,831 | 744,155 | 753,757 | 3,768,785 | 23,366,467 | 116,832,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -155 | -157 | -785 | -4,801 | -4,867 | -24,005 | -24,335 | -148,831 | -744,155 | -753,757 | -3,768,785 | -23,366,467 | -116,832,335 |
