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 233,045,305, 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 | 233,045,305 | |
| -1 | -233,045,305 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 233,045,305.
Example:
1 x 233,045,305 = 233,045,305
and
-1 x -233,045,305 = 233,045,305
Notice both answers equal 233,045,305
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 233,045,305 and divide it by 2:
233,045,305 ÷ 2 = 116,522,652.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 116,522,652.5 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 | 233,045,305 | |
| -1 | -233,045,305 |
Now, we try dividing 233,045,305 by 3:
233,045,305 ÷ 3 = 77,681,768.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 77,681,768.3333 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 | 233,045,305 | |
| -1 | -233,045,305 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
233,045,305 ÷ 4 = 58,261,326.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 58,261,326.25 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 | 233,045,305 | |
| -1 | 233,045,305 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 145 | 157 | 353 | 785 | 841 | 1,765 | 4,205 | 4,553 | 10,237 | 22,765 | 51,185 | 55,421 | 132,037 | 277,105 | 296,873 | 660,185 | 1,484,365 | 1,607,209 | 8,036,045 | 46,609,061 | 233,045,305 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -145 | -157 | -353 | -785 | -841 | -1,765 | -4,205 | -4,553 | -10,237 | -22,765 | -51,185 | -55,421 | -132,037 | -277,105 | -296,873 | -660,185 | -1,484,365 | -1,607,209 | -8,036,045 | -46,609,061 | -233,045,305 |
