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 230,447,875, 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 | 230,447,875 | |
| -1 | -230,447,875 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 230,447,875.
Example:
1 x 230,447,875 = 230,447,875
and
-1 x -230,447,875 = 230,447,875
Notice both answers equal 230,447,875
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 230,447,875 and divide it by 2:
230,447,875 ÷ 2 = 115,223,937.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 115,223,937.5 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 | 230,447,875 | |
| -1 | -230,447,875 |
Now, we try dividing 230,447,875 by 3:
230,447,875 ÷ 3 = 76,815,958.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 76,815,958.3333 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 | 230,447,875 | |
| -1 | -230,447,875 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
230,447,875 ÷ 4 = 57,611,968.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 57,611,968.75 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 | 230,447,875 | |
| -1 | 230,447,875 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 125 | 175 | 875 | 263,369 | 1,316,845 | 1,843,583 | 6,584,225 | 9,217,915 | 32,921,125 | 46,089,575 | 230,447,875 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -125 | -175 | -875 | -263,369 | -1,316,845 | -1,843,583 | -6,584,225 | -9,217,915 | -32,921,125 | -46,089,575 | -230,447,875 |
