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 114,067,085, 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 | 114,067,085 | |
| -1 | -114,067,085 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,067,085.
Example:
1 x 114,067,085 = 114,067,085
and
-1 x -114,067,085 = 114,067,085
Notice both answers equal 114,067,085
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,067,085 and divide it by 2:
114,067,085 ÷ 2 = 57,033,542.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,033,542.5 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 | 114,067,085 | |
| -1 | -114,067,085 |
Now, we try dividing 114,067,085 by 3:
114,067,085 ÷ 3 = 38,022,361.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,022,361.6667 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 | 114,067,085 | |
| -1 | -114,067,085 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,067,085 ÷ 4 = 28,516,771.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,516,771.25 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 | 114,067,085 | |
| -1 | 114,067,085 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 467 | 2,335 | 4,441 | 5,137 | 22,205 | 25,685 | 48,851 | 244,255 | 2,073,947 | 10,369,735 | 22,813,417 | 114,067,085 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -467 | -2,335 | -4,441 | -5,137 | -22,205 | -25,685 | -48,851 | -244,255 | -2,073,947 | -10,369,735 | -22,813,417 | -114,067,085 |
