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 200,252,705, 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 | 200,252,705 | |
| -1 | -200,252,705 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 200,252,705.
Example:
1 x 200,252,705 = 200,252,705
and
-1 x -200,252,705 = 200,252,705
Notice both answers equal 200,252,705
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 200,252,705 and divide it by 2:
200,252,705 ÷ 2 = 100,126,352.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 100,126,352.5 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 | 200,252,705 | |
| -1 | -200,252,705 |
Now, we try dividing 200,252,705 by 3:
200,252,705 ÷ 3 = 66,750,901.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 66,750,901.6667 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 | 200,252,705 | |
| -1 | -200,252,705 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
200,252,705 ÷ 4 = 50,063,176.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 50,063,176.25 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 | 200,252,705 | |
| -1 | 200,252,705 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 199 | 313 | 643 | 995 | 1,565 | 3,215 | 62,287 | 127,957 | 201,259 | 311,435 | 639,785 | 1,006,295 | 40,050,541 | 200,252,705 |
| -1 | -5 | -199 | -313 | -643 | -995 | -1,565 | -3,215 | -62,287 | -127,957 | -201,259 | -311,435 | -639,785 | -1,006,295 | -40,050,541 | -200,252,705 |
