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 230,542,025, 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 | 230,542,025 | |
| -1 | -230,542,025 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 230,542,025.
Example:
1 x 230,542,025 = 230,542,025
and
-1 x -230,542,025 = 230,542,025
Notice both answers equal 230,542,025
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 230,542,025 and divide it by 2:
230,542,025 ÷ 2 = 115,271,012.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 115,271,012.5 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 | 230,542,025 | |
| -1 | -230,542,025 |
Now, we try dividing 230,542,025 by 3:
230,542,025 ÷ 3 = 76,847,341.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 76,847,341.6667 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 | 230,542,025 | |
| -1 | -230,542,025 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
230,542,025 ÷ 4 = 57,635,506.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 57,635,506.25 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 | 230,542,025 | |
| -1 | 230,542,025 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 29 | 35 | 145 | 175 | 203 | 725 | 1,015 | 5,075 | 45,427 | 227,135 | 317,989 | 1,135,675 | 1,317,383 | 1,589,945 | 6,586,915 | 7,949,725 | 9,221,681 | 32,934,575 | 46,108,405 | 230,542,025 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -29 | -35 | -145 | -175 | -203 | -725 | -1,015 | -5,075 | -45,427 | -227,135 | -317,989 | -1,135,675 | -1,317,383 | -1,589,945 | -6,586,915 | -7,949,725 | -9,221,681 | -32,934,575 | -46,108,405 | -230,542,025 |
