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 233,661,365, 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 | 233,661,365 | |
| -1 | -233,661,365 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 233,661,365.
Example:
1 x 233,661,365 = 233,661,365
and
-1 x -233,661,365 = 233,661,365
Notice both answers equal 233,661,365
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 233,661,365 and divide it by 2:
233,661,365 ÷ 2 = 116,830,682.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 116,830,682.5 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 | 233,661,365 | |
| -1 | -233,661,365 |
Now, we try dividing 233,661,365 by 3:
233,661,365 ÷ 3 = 77,887,121.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 77,887,121.6667 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 | 233,661,365 | |
| -1 | -233,661,365 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
233,661,365 ÷ 4 = 58,415,341.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 58,415,341.25 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 | 233,661,365 | |
| -1 | 233,661,365 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 53 | 265 | 371 | 1,855 | 125,963 | 629,815 | 881,741 | 4,408,705 | 6,676,039 | 33,380,195 | 46,732,273 | 233,661,365 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -53 | -265 | -371 | -1,855 | -125,963 | -629,815 | -881,741 | -4,408,705 | -6,676,039 | -33,380,195 | -46,732,273 | -233,661,365 |
