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 230,010,053, 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 | 230,010,053 | |
| -1 | -230,010,053 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 230,010,053.
Example:
1 x 230,010,053 = 230,010,053
and
-1 x -230,010,053 = 230,010,053
Notice both answers equal 230,010,053
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 230,010,053 and divide it by 2:
230,010,053 ÷ 2 = 115,005,026.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 115,005,026.5 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 | 230,010,053 | |
| -1 | -230,010,053 |
Now, we try dividing 230,010,053 by 3:
230,010,053 ÷ 3 = 76,670,017.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 76,670,017.6667 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 | 230,010,053 | |
| -1 | -230,010,053 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
230,010,053 ÷ 4 = 57,502,513.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 57,502,513.25 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 | 230,010,053 | |
| -1 | 230,010,053 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 43 | 91 | 301 | 559 | 1,367 | 1,849 | 3,913 | 9,569 | 12,943 | 17,771 | 24,037 | 58,781 | 124,397 | 168,259 | 411,467 | 764,153 | 2,527,583 | 5,349,071 | 17,693,081 | 32,858,579 | 230,010,053 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -43 | -91 | -301 | -559 | -1,367 | -1,849 | -3,913 | -9,569 | -12,943 | -17,771 | -24,037 | -58,781 | -124,397 | -168,259 | -411,467 | -764,153 | -2,527,583 | -5,349,071 | -17,693,081 | -32,858,579 | -230,010,053 |
