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 230,344,201, 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 | 230,344,201 | |
| -1 | -230,344,201 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 230,344,201.
Example:
1 x 230,344,201 = 230,344,201
and
-1 x -230,344,201 = 230,344,201
Notice both answers equal 230,344,201
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 230,344,201 and divide it by 2:
230,344,201 ÷ 2 = 115,172,100.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 115,172,100.5 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 | 230,344,201 | |
| -1 | -230,344,201 |
Now, we try dividing 230,344,201 by 3:
230,344,201 ÷ 3 = 76,781,400.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 76,781,400.3333 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 | 230,344,201 | |
| -1 | -230,344,201 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
230,344,201 ÷ 4 = 57,586,050.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 57,586,050.25 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 | 230,344,201 | |
| -1 | 230,344,201 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 53 | 59 | 1,007 | 1,121 | 3,127 | 3,877 | 59,413 | 73,663 | 205,481 | 228,743 | 3,904,139 | 4,346,117 | 12,123,379 | 230,344,201 |
| -1 | -19 | -53 | -59 | -1,007 | -1,121 | -3,127 | -3,877 | -59,413 | -73,663 | -205,481 | -228,743 | -3,904,139 | -4,346,117 | -12,123,379 | -230,344,201 |
