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 117,026,735, 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 | 117,026,735 | |
| -1 | -117,026,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 117,026,735.
Example:
1 x 117,026,735 = 117,026,735
and
-1 x -117,026,735 = 117,026,735
Notice both answers equal 117,026,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 117,026,735 and divide it by 2:
117,026,735 ÷ 2 = 58,513,367.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 58,513,367.5 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 | 117,026,735 | |
| -1 | -117,026,735 |
Now, we try dividing 117,026,735 by 3:
117,026,735 ÷ 3 = 39,008,911.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 39,008,911.6667 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 | 117,026,735 | |
| -1 | -117,026,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
117,026,735 ÷ 4 = 29,256,683.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 29,256,683.75 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 | 117,026,735 | |
| -1 | 117,026,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 509 | 2,545 | 3,563 | 6,569 | 17,815 | 32,845 | 45,983 | 229,915 | 3,343,621 | 16,718,105 | 23,405,347 | 117,026,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -509 | -2,545 | -3,563 | -6,569 | -17,815 | -32,845 | -45,983 | -229,915 | -3,343,621 | -16,718,105 | -23,405,347 | -117,026,735 |
