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 200,342,233, 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 | 200,342,233 | |
| -1 | -200,342,233 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 200,342,233.
Example:
1 x 200,342,233 = 200,342,233
and
-1 x -200,342,233 = 200,342,233
Notice both answers equal 200,342,233
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 200,342,233 and divide it by 2:
200,342,233 ÷ 2 = 100,171,116.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 100,171,116.5 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 | 200,342,233 | |
| -1 | -200,342,233 |
Now, we try dividing 200,342,233 by 3:
200,342,233 ÷ 3 = 66,780,744.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 66,780,744.3333 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 | 200,342,233 | |
| -1 | -200,342,233 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
200,342,233 ÷ 4 = 50,085,558.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 50,085,558.25 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 | 200,342,233 | |
| -1 | 200,342,233 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 49 | 91 | 169 | 637 | 1,183 | 1,861 | 2,197 | 8,281 | 13,027 | 15,379 | 24,193 | 91,189 | 107,653 | 169,351 | 314,509 | 1,185,457 | 2,201,563 | 4,088,617 | 15,410,941 | 28,620,319 | 200,342,233 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -49 | -91 | -169 | -637 | -1,183 | -1,861 | -2,197 | -8,281 | -13,027 | -15,379 | -24,193 | -91,189 | -107,653 | -169,351 | -314,509 | -1,185,457 | -2,201,563 | -4,088,617 | -15,410,941 | -28,620,319 | -200,342,233 |
