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 234,101,015, 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 | 234,101,015 | |
| -1 | -234,101,015 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 234,101,015.
Example:
1 x 234,101,015 = 234,101,015
and
-1 x -234,101,015 = 234,101,015
Notice both answers equal 234,101,015
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 234,101,015 and divide it by 2:
234,101,015 ÷ 2 = 117,050,507.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 117,050,507.5 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 | 234,101,015 | |
| -1 | -234,101,015 |
Now, we try dividing 234,101,015 by 3:
234,101,015 ÷ 3 = 78,033,671.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 78,033,671.6667 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 | 234,101,015 | |
| -1 | -234,101,015 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
234,101,015 ÷ 4 = 58,525,253.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 58,525,253.75 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 | 234,101,015 | |
| -1 | 234,101,015 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 67 | 115 | 335 | 529 | 1,321 | 1,541 | 2,645 | 6,605 | 7,705 | 30,383 | 35,443 | 88,507 | 151,915 | 177,215 | 442,535 | 698,809 | 2,035,661 | 3,494,045 | 10,178,305 | 46,820,203 | 234,101,015 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -67 | -115 | -335 | -529 | -1,321 | -1,541 | -2,645 | -6,605 | -7,705 | -30,383 | -35,443 | -88,507 | -151,915 | -177,215 | -442,535 | -698,809 | -2,035,661 | -3,494,045 | -10,178,305 | -46,820,203 | -234,101,015 |
