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 230,322,001, 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 | 230,322,001 | |
| -1 | -230,322,001 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 230,322,001.
Example:
1 x 230,322,001 = 230,322,001
and
-1 x -230,322,001 = 230,322,001
Notice both answers equal 230,322,001
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 230,322,001 and divide it by 2:
230,322,001 ÷ 2 = 115,161,000.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 115,161,000.5 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 | 230,322,001 | |
| -1 | -230,322,001 |
Now, we try dividing 230,322,001 by 3:
230,322,001 ÷ 3 = 76,774,000.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 76,774,000.3333 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 | 230,322,001 | |
| -1 | -230,322,001 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
230,322,001 ÷ 4 = 57,580,500.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 57,580,500.25 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 | 230,322,001 | |
| -1 | 230,322,001 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 17 | 49 | 91 | 119 | 221 | 637 | 833 | 1,547 | 10,829 | 21,269 | 148,883 | 276,497 | 361,573 | 1,042,181 | 1,935,479 | 2,531,011 | 4,700,449 | 13,548,353 | 17,717,077 | 32,903,143 | 230,322,001 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -17 | -49 | -91 | -119 | -221 | -637 | -833 | -1,547 | -10,829 | -21,269 | -148,883 | -276,497 | -361,573 | -1,042,181 | -1,935,479 | -2,531,011 | -4,700,449 | -13,548,353 | -17,717,077 | -32,903,143 | -230,322,001 |
