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 203,472,325, 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 | 203,472,325 | |
| -1 | -203,472,325 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 203,472,325.
Example:
1 x 203,472,325 = 203,472,325
and
-1 x -203,472,325 = 203,472,325
Notice both answers equal 203,472,325
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 203,472,325 and divide it by 2:
203,472,325 ÷ 2 = 101,736,162.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 101,736,162.5 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 | 203,472,325 | |
| -1 | -203,472,325 |
Now, we try dividing 203,472,325 by 3:
203,472,325 ÷ 3 = 67,824,108.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 67,824,108.3333 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 | 203,472,325 | |
| -1 | -203,472,325 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
203,472,325 ÷ 4 = 50,868,081.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 50,868,081.25 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 | 203,472,325 | |
| -1 | 203,472,325 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 175 | 661 | 1,759 | 3,305 | 4,627 | 8,795 | 12,313 | 16,525 | 23,135 | 43,975 | 61,565 | 115,675 | 307,825 | 1,162,699 | 5,813,495 | 8,138,893 | 29,067,475 | 40,694,465 | 203,472,325 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -175 | -661 | -1,759 | -3,305 | -4,627 | -8,795 | -12,313 | -16,525 | -23,135 | -43,975 | -61,565 | -115,675 | -307,825 | -1,162,699 | -5,813,495 | -8,138,893 | -29,067,475 | -40,694,465 | -203,472,325 |
