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 230,203,325, 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 | 230,203,325 | |
| -1 | -230,203,325 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 230,203,325.
Example:
1 x 230,203,325 = 230,203,325
and
-1 x -230,203,325 = 230,203,325
Notice both answers equal 230,203,325
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 230,203,325 and divide it by 2:
230,203,325 ÷ 2 = 115,101,662.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 115,101,662.5 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 | 230,203,325 | |
| -1 | -230,203,325 |
Now, we try dividing 230,203,325 by 3:
230,203,325 ÷ 3 = 76,734,441.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 76,734,441.6667 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 | 230,203,325 | |
| -1 | -230,203,325 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
230,203,325 ÷ 4 = 57,550,831.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 57,550,831.25 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 | 230,203,325 | |
| -1 | 230,203,325 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 61 | 275 | 305 | 671 | 1,525 | 3,355 | 13,723 | 16,775 | 68,615 | 150,953 | 343,075 | 754,765 | 837,103 | 3,773,825 | 4,185,515 | 9,208,133 | 20,927,575 | 46,040,665 | 230,203,325 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -61 | -275 | -305 | -671 | -1,525 | -3,355 | -13,723 | -16,775 | -68,615 | -150,953 | -343,075 | -754,765 | -837,103 | -3,773,825 | -4,185,515 | -9,208,133 | -20,927,575 | -46,040,665 | -230,203,325 |
