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 200,135,035, 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 | 200,135,035 | |
| -1 | -200,135,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 200,135,035.
Example:
1 x 200,135,035 = 200,135,035
and
-1 x -200,135,035 = 200,135,035
Notice both answers equal 200,135,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 200,135,035 and divide it by 2:
200,135,035 ÷ 2 = 100,067,517.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 100,067,517.5 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 | 200,135,035 | |
| -1 | -200,135,035 |
Now, we try dividing 200,135,035 by 3:
200,135,035 ÷ 3 = 66,711,678.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 66,711,678.3333 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 | 200,135,035 | |
| -1 | -200,135,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
200,135,035 ÷ 4 = 50,033,758.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 50,033,758.75 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 | 200,135,035 | |
| -1 | 200,135,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 101 | 185 | 505 | 3,737 | 10,711 | 18,685 | 53,555 | 396,307 | 1,081,811 | 1,981,535 | 5,409,055 | 40,027,007 | 200,135,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -101 | -185 | -505 | -3,737 | -10,711 | -18,685 | -53,555 | -396,307 | -1,081,811 | -1,981,535 | -5,409,055 | -40,027,007 | -200,135,035 |
