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 202,237,213, 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 | 202,237,213 | |
| -1 | -202,237,213 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 202,237,213.
Example:
1 x 202,237,213 = 202,237,213
and
-1 x -202,237,213 = 202,237,213
Notice both answers equal 202,237,213
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 202,237,213 and divide it by 2:
202,237,213 ÷ 2 = 101,118,606.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 101,118,606.5 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 | 202,237,213 | |
| -1 | -202,237,213 |
Now, we try dividing 202,237,213 by 3:
202,237,213 ÷ 3 = 67,412,404.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 67,412,404.3333 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 | 202,237,213 | |
| -1 | -202,237,213 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
202,237,213 ÷ 4 = 50,559,303.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 50,559,303.25 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 | 202,237,213 | |
| -1 | 202,237,213 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 43 | 127 | 1,247 | 1,277 | 3,683 | 5,461 | 37,033 | 54,911 | 158,369 | 162,179 | 1,592,419 | 4,703,191 | 6,973,697 | 202,237,213 |
| -1 | -29 | -43 | -127 | -1,247 | -1,277 | -3,683 | -5,461 | -37,033 | -54,911 | -158,369 | -162,179 | -1,592,419 | -4,703,191 | -6,973,697 | -202,237,213 |
