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 210,373,663, 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 | 210,373,663 | |
| -1 | -210,373,663 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 210,373,663.
Example:
1 x 210,373,663 = 210,373,663
and
-1 x -210,373,663 = 210,373,663
Notice both answers equal 210,373,663
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 210,373,663 and divide it by 2:
210,373,663 ÷ 2 = 105,186,831.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 105,186,831.5 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 | 210,373,663 | |
| -1 | -210,373,663 |
Now, we try dividing 210,373,663 by 3:
210,373,663 ÷ 3 = 70,124,554.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 70,124,554.3333 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 | 210,373,663 | |
| -1 | -210,373,663 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
210,373,663 ÷ 4 = 52,593,415.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 52,593,415.75 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 | 210,373,663 | |
| -1 | 210,373,663 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 73 | 107 | 1,171 | 1,679 | 2,461 | 7,811 | 26,933 | 85,483 | 125,297 | 179,653 | 1,966,109 | 2,881,831 | 9,146,681 | 210,373,663 |
| -1 | -23 | -73 | -107 | -1,171 | -1,679 | -2,461 | -7,811 | -26,933 | -85,483 | -125,297 | -179,653 | -1,966,109 | -2,881,831 | -9,146,681 | -210,373,663 |
