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 117,457,595, 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 | 117,457,595 | |
| -1 | -117,457,595 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 117,457,595.
Example:
1 x 117,457,595 = 117,457,595
and
-1 x -117,457,595 = 117,457,595
Notice both answers equal 117,457,595
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 117,457,595 and divide it by 2:
117,457,595 ÷ 2 = 58,728,797.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 58,728,797.5 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 | 117,457,595 | |
| -1 | -117,457,595 |
Now, we try dividing 117,457,595 by 3:
117,457,595 ÷ 3 = 39,152,531.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 39,152,531.6667 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 | 117,457,595 | |
| -1 | -117,457,595 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
117,457,595 ÷ 4 = 29,364,398.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 29,364,398.75 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 | 117,457,595 | |
| -1 | 117,457,595 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 79 | 103 | 395 | 515 | 2,887 | 8,137 | 14,435 | 40,685 | 228,073 | 297,361 | 1,140,365 | 1,486,805 | 23,491,519 | 117,457,595 |
| -1 | -5 | -79 | -103 | -395 | -515 | -2,887 | -8,137 | -14,435 | -40,685 | -228,073 | -297,361 | -1,140,365 | -1,486,805 | -23,491,519 | -117,457,595 |
