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 233,523,325, 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 | 233,523,325 | |
| -1 | -233,523,325 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 233,523,325.
Example:
1 x 233,523,325 = 233,523,325
and
-1 x -233,523,325 = 233,523,325
Notice both answers equal 233,523,325
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 233,523,325 and divide it by 2:
233,523,325 ÷ 2 = 116,761,662.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 116,761,662.5 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 | 233,523,325 | |
| -1 | -233,523,325 |
Now, we try dividing 233,523,325 by 3:
233,523,325 ÷ 3 = 77,841,108.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 77,841,108.3333 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 | 233,523,325 | |
| -1 | -233,523,325 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
233,523,325 ÷ 4 = 58,380,831.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 58,380,831.25 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 | 233,523,325 | |
| -1 | 233,523,325 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 43 | 175 | 215 | 301 | 1,075 | 1,505 | 7,525 | 31,033 | 155,165 | 217,231 | 775,825 | 1,086,155 | 1,334,419 | 5,430,775 | 6,672,095 | 9,340,933 | 33,360,475 | 46,704,665 | 233,523,325 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -43 | -175 | -215 | -301 | -1,075 | -1,505 | -7,525 | -31,033 | -155,165 | -217,231 | -775,825 | -1,086,155 | -1,334,419 | -5,430,775 | -6,672,095 | -9,340,933 | -33,360,475 | -46,704,665 | -233,523,325 |
