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 114,561,535, 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 | 114,561,535 | |
| -1 | -114,561,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,561,535.
Example:
1 x 114,561,535 = 114,561,535
and
-1 x -114,561,535 = 114,561,535
Notice both answers equal 114,561,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,561,535 and divide it by 2:
114,561,535 ÷ 2 = 57,280,767.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,280,767.5 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 | 114,561,535 | |
| -1 | -114,561,535 |
Now, we try dividing 114,561,535 by 3:
114,561,535 ÷ 3 = 38,187,178.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,187,178.3333 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 | 114,561,535 | |
| -1 | -114,561,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,561,535 ÷ 4 = 28,640,383.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,640,383.75 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 | 114,561,535 | |
| -1 | 114,561,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 293 | 1,465 | 3,223 | 7,109 | 16,115 | 35,545 | 78,199 | 390,995 | 2,082,937 | 10,414,685 | 22,912,307 | 114,561,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -293 | -1,465 | -3,223 | -7,109 | -16,115 | -35,545 | -78,199 | -390,995 | -2,082,937 | -10,414,685 | -22,912,307 | -114,561,535 |
