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 200,203,441, 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 | 200,203,441 | |
| -1 | -200,203,441 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 200,203,441.
Example:
1 x 200,203,441 = 200,203,441
and
-1 x -200,203,441 = 200,203,441
Notice both answers equal 200,203,441
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 200,203,441 and divide it by 2:
200,203,441 ÷ 2 = 100,101,720.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 100,101,720.5 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 | 200,203,441 | |
| -1 | -200,203,441 |
Now, we try dividing 200,203,441 by 3:
200,203,441 ÷ 3 = 66,734,480.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 66,734,480.3333 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 | 200,203,441 | |
| -1 | -200,203,441 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
200,203,441 ÷ 4 = 50,050,860.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 50,050,860.25 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 | 200,203,441 | |
| -1 | 200,203,441 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 97 | 167 | 727 | 1,649 | 2,839 | 12,359 | 16,199 | 70,519 | 121,409 | 275,383 | 1,198,823 | 2,063,953 | 11,776,673 | 200,203,441 |
| -1 | -17 | -97 | -167 | -727 | -1,649 | -2,839 | -12,359 | -16,199 | -70,519 | -121,409 | -275,383 | -1,198,823 | -2,063,953 | -11,776,673 | -200,203,441 |
