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 230,435,335, 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 | 230,435,335 | |
| -1 | -230,435,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 230,435,335.
Example:
1 x 230,435,335 = 230,435,335
and
-1 x -230,435,335 = 230,435,335
Notice both answers equal 230,435,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 230,435,335 and divide it by 2:
230,435,335 ÷ 2 = 115,217,667.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 115,217,667.5 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 | 230,435,335 | |
| -1 | -230,435,335 |
Now, we try dividing 230,435,335 by 3:
230,435,335 ÷ 3 = 76,811,778.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 76,811,778.3333 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 | 230,435,335 | |
| -1 | -230,435,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
230,435,335 ÷ 4 = 57,608,833.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 57,608,833.75 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 | 230,435,335 | |
| -1 | 230,435,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 419 | 2,095 | 5,447 | 8,461 | 27,235 | 42,305 | 109,993 | 549,965 | 3,545,159 | 17,725,795 | 46,087,067 | 230,435,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -419 | -2,095 | -5,447 | -8,461 | -27,235 | -42,305 | -109,993 | -549,965 | -3,545,159 | -17,725,795 | -46,087,067 | -230,435,335 |
