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 202,333,319, 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 | 202,333,319 | |
| -1 | -202,333,319 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 202,333,319.
Example:
1 x 202,333,319 = 202,333,319
and
-1 x -202,333,319 = 202,333,319
Notice both answers equal 202,333,319
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 202,333,319 and divide it by 2:
202,333,319 ÷ 2 = 101,166,659.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 101,166,659.5 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 | 202,333,319 | |
| -1 | -202,333,319 |
Now, we try dividing 202,333,319 by 3:
202,333,319 ÷ 3 = 67,444,439.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 67,444,439.6667 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 | 202,333,319 | |
| -1 | -202,333,319 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
202,333,319 ÷ 4 = 50,583,329.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 50,583,329.75 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 | 202,333,319 | |
| -1 | 202,333,319 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 41 | 379 | 449 | 1,189 | 10,991 | 13,021 | 15,539 | 18,409 | 170,171 | 450,631 | 533,861 | 4,934,959 | 6,977,011 | 202,333,319 |
| -1 | -29 | -41 | -379 | -449 | -1,189 | -10,991 | -13,021 | -15,539 | -18,409 | -170,171 | -450,631 | -533,861 | -4,934,959 | -6,977,011 | -202,333,319 |
