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 234,448,049, 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 | 234,448,049 | |
| -1 | -234,448,049 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 234,448,049.
Example:
1 x 234,448,049 = 234,448,049
and
-1 x -234,448,049 = 234,448,049
Notice both answers equal 234,448,049
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 234,448,049 and divide it by 2:
234,448,049 ÷ 2 = 117,224,024.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 117,224,024.5 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 | 234,448,049 | |
| -1 | -234,448,049 |
Now, we try dividing 234,448,049 by 3:
234,448,049 ÷ 3 = 78,149,349.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 78,149,349.6667 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 | 234,448,049 | |
| -1 | -234,448,049 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
234,448,049 ÷ 4 = 58,612,012.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 58,612,012.25 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 | 234,448,049 | |
| -1 | 234,448,049 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 209 | 727 | 1,543 | 7,997 | 13,813 | 16,973 | 29,317 | 151,943 | 322,487 | 1,121,761 | 12,339,371 | 21,313,459 | 234,448,049 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -209 | -727 | -1,543 | -7,997 | -13,813 | -16,973 | -29,317 | -151,943 | -322,487 | -1,121,761 | -12,339,371 | -21,313,459 | -234,448,049 |
