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 234,325,033, 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 | 234,325,033 | |
| -1 | -234,325,033 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 234,325,033.
Example:
1 x 234,325,033 = 234,325,033
and
-1 x -234,325,033 = 234,325,033
Notice both answers equal 234,325,033
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 234,325,033 and divide it by 2:
234,325,033 ÷ 2 = 117,162,516.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 117,162,516.5 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 | 234,325,033 | |
| -1 | -234,325,033 |
Now, we try dividing 234,325,033 by 3:
234,325,033 ÷ 3 = 78,108,344.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 78,108,344.3333 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 | 234,325,033 | |
| -1 | -234,325,033 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
234,325,033 ÷ 4 = 58,581,258.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 58,581,258.25 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 | 234,325,033 | |
| -1 | 234,325,033 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 37 | 47 | 127 | 1,061 | 1,739 | 4,699 | 5,969 | 39,257 | 49,867 | 134,747 | 220,853 | 1,845,079 | 4,985,639 | 6,333,109 | 234,325,033 |
| -1 | -37 | -47 | -127 | -1,061 | -1,739 | -4,699 | -5,969 | -39,257 | -49,867 | -134,747 | -220,853 | -1,845,079 | -4,985,639 | -6,333,109 | -234,325,033 |
