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 233,630,365, 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 | 233,630,365 | |
| -1 | -233,630,365 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 233,630,365.
Example:
1 x 233,630,365 = 233,630,365
and
-1 x -233,630,365 = 233,630,365
Notice both answers equal 233,630,365
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 233,630,365 and divide it by 2:
233,630,365 ÷ 2 = 116,815,182.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 116,815,182.5 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 | 233,630,365 | |
| -1 | -233,630,365 |
Now, we try dividing 233,630,365 by 3:
233,630,365 ÷ 3 = 77,876,788.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 77,876,788.3333 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 | 233,630,365 | |
| -1 | -233,630,365 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
233,630,365 ÷ 4 = 58,407,591.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 58,407,591.25 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 | 233,630,365 | |
| -1 | 233,630,365 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 367 | 1,835 | 6,701 | 6,973 | 33,505 | 34,865 | 127,319 | 636,595 | 2,459,267 | 12,296,335 | 46,726,073 | 233,630,365 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -367 | -1,835 | -6,701 | -6,973 | -33,505 | -34,865 | -127,319 | -636,595 | -2,459,267 | -12,296,335 | -46,726,073 | -233,630,365 |
