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 234,353,455, 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 | 234,353,455 | |
| -1 | -234,353,455 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 234,353,455.
Example:
1 x 234,353,455 = 234,353,455
and
-1 x -234,353,455 = 234,353,455
Notice both answers equal 234,353,455
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 234,353,455 and divide it by 2:
234,353,455 ÷ 2 = 117,176,727.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 117,176,727.5 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 | 234,353,455 | |
| -1 | -234,353,455 |
Now, we try dividing 234,353,455 by 3:
234,353,455 ÷ 3 = 78,117,818.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 78,117,818.3333 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 | 234,353,455 | |
| -1 | -234,353,455 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
234,353,455 ÷ 4 = 58,588,363.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 58,588,363.75 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 | 234,353,455 | |
| -1 | 234,353,455 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 97 | 485 | 679 | 3,395 | 69,029 | 345,145 | 483,203 | 2,416,015 | 6,695,813 | 33,479,065 | 46,870,691 | 234,353,455 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -97 | -485 | -679 | -3,395 | -69,029 | -345,145 | -483,203 | -2,416,015 | -6,695,813 | -33,479,065 | -46,870,691 | -234,353,455 |
