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 200,524,345, 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 | 200,524,345 | |
| -1 | -200,524,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 200,524,345.
Example:
1 x 200,524,345 = 200,524,345
and
-1 x -200,524,345 = 200,524,345
Notice both answers equal 200,524,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 200,524,345 and divide it by 2:
200,524,345 ÷ 2 = 100,262,172.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 100,262,172.5 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 | 200,524,345 | |
| -1 | -200,524,345 |
Now, we try dividing 200,524,345 by 3:
200,524,345 ÷ 3 = 66,841,448.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 66,841,448.3333 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 | 200,524,345 | |
| -1 | -200,524,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
200,524,345 ÷ 4 = 50,131,086.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 50,131,086.25 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 | 200,524,345 | |
| -1 | 200,524,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 1,031 | 5,155 | 5,557 | 7,217 | 27,785 | 36,085 | 38,899 | 194,495 | 5,729,267 | 28,646,335 | 40,104,869 | 200,524,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -1,031 | -5,155 | -5,557 | -7,217 | -27,785 | -36,085 | -38,899 | -194,495 | -5,729,267 | -28,646,335 | -40,104,869 | -200,524,345 |
