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 202,322,009, 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 | 202,322,009 | |
| -1 | -202,322,009 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 202,322,009.
Example:
1 x 202,322,009 = 202,322,009
and
-1 x -202,322,009 = 202,322,009
Notice both answers equal 202,322,009
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 202,322,009 and divide it by 2:
202,322,009 ÷ 2 = 101,161,004.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 101,161,004.5 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 | 202,322,009 | |
| -1 | -202,322,009 |
Now, we try dividing 202,322,009 by 3:
202,322,009 ÷ 3 = 67,440,669.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 67,440,669.6667 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 | 202,322,009 | |
| -1 | -202,322,009 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
202,322,009 ÷ 4 = 50,580,502.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 50,580,502.25 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 | 202,322,009 | |
| -1 | 202,322,009 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 43 | 89 | 1,247 | 1,823 | 2,581 | 3,827 | 52,867 | 78,389 | 110,983 | 162,247 | 2,273,281 | 4,705,163 | 6,976,621 | 202,322,009 |
| -1 | -29 | -43 | -89 | -1,247 | -1,823 | -2,581 | -3,827 | -52,867 | -78,389 | -110,983 | -162,247 | -2,273,281 | -4,705,163 | -6,976,621 | -202,322,009 |
