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 202,364,335, 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 | 202,364,335 | |
| -1 | -202,364,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 202,364,335.
Example:
1 x 202,364,335 = 202,364,335
and
-1 x -202,364,335 = 202,364,335
Notice both answers equal 202,364,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 202,364,335 and divide it by 2:
202,364,335 ÷ 2 = 101,182,167.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 101,182,167.5 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 | 202,364,335 | |
| -1 | -202,364,335 |
Now, we try dividing 202,364,335 by 3:
202,364,335 ÷ 3 = 67,454,778.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 67,454,778.3333 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 | 202,364,335 | |
| -1 | -202,364,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
202,364,335 ÷ 4 = 50,591,083.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 50,591,083.75 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 | 202,364,335 | |
| -1 | 202,364,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 53 | 181 | 265 | 905 | 4,219 | 9,593 | 21,095 | 47,965 | 223,607 | 763,639 | 1,118,035 | 3,818,195 | 40,472,867 | 202,364,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -53 | -181 | -265 | -905 | -4,219 | -9,593 | -21,095 | -47,965 | -223,607 | -763,639 | -1,118,035 | -3,818,195 | -40,472,867 | -202,364,335 |
