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 200,255,195, 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 | 200,255,195 | |
| -1 | -200,255,195 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 200,255,195.
Example:
1 x 200,255,195 = 200,255,195
and
-1 x -200,255,195 = 200,255,195
Notice both answers equal 200,255,195
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 200,255,195 and divide it by 2:
200,255,195 ÷ 2 = 100,127,597.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 100,127,597.5 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 | 200,255,195 | |
| -1 | -200,255,195 |
Now, we try dividing 200,255,195 by 3:
200,255,195 ÷ 3 = 66,751,731.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 66,751,731.6667 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 | 200,255,195 | |
| -1 | -200,255,195 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
200,255,195 ÷ 4 = 50,063,798.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 50,063,798.75 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 | 200,255,195 | |
| -1 | 200,255,195 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 31 | 35 | 155 | 217 | 1,085 | 184,567 | 922,835 | 1,291,969 | 5,721,577 | 6,459,845 | 28,607,885 | 40,051,039 | 200,255,195 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -31 | -35 | -155 | -217 | -1,085 | -184,567 | -922,835 | -1,291,969 | -5,721,577 | -6,459,845 | -28,607,885 | -40,051,039 | -200,255,195 |
