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 117,563,369, 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 | 117,563,369 | |
| -1 | -117,563,369 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 117,563,369.
Example:
1 x 117,563,369 = 117,563,369
and
-1 x -117,563,369 = 117,563,369
Notice both answers equal 117,563,369
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 117,563,369 and divide it by 2:
117,563,369 ÷ 2 = 58,781,684.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 58,781,684.5 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 | 117,563,369 | |
| -1 | -117,563,369 |
Now, we try dividing 117,563,369 by 3:
117,563,369 ÷ 3 = 39,187,789.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 39,187,789.6667 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 | 117,563,369 | |
| -1 | -117,563,369 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
117,563,369 ÷ 4 = 29,390,842.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 29,390,842.25 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 | 117,563,369 | |
| -1 | 117,563,369 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 409 | 2,863 | 3,733 | 4,499 | 26,131 | 31,493 | 41,063 | 287,441 | 1,526,797 | 10,687,579 | 16,794,767 | 117,563,369 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -409 | -2,863 | -3,733 | -4,499 | -26,131 | -31,493 | -41,063 | -287,441 | -1,526,797 | -10,687,579 | -16,794,767 | -117,563,369 |
