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 234,743,575, 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 | 234,743,575 | |
| -1 | -234,743,575 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 234,743,575.
Example:
1 x 234,743,575 = 234,743,575
and
-1 x -234,743,575 = 234,743,575
Notice both answers equal 234,743,575
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 234,743,575 and divide it by 2:
234,743,575 ÷ 2 = 117,371,787.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 117,371,787.5 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 | 234,743,575 | |
| -1 | -234,743,575 |
Now, we try dividing 234,743,575 by 3:
234,743,575 ÷ 3 = 78,247,858.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 78,247,858.3333 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 | 234,743,575 | |
| -1 | -234,743,575 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
234,743,575 ÷ 4 = 58,685,893.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 58,685,893.75 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 | 234,743,575 | |
| -1 | 234,743,575 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 19 | 25 | 55 | 95 | 209 | 275 | 475 | 1,045 | 5,225 | 44,927 | 224,635 | 494,197 | 853,613 | 1,123,175 | 2,470,985 | 4,268,065 | 9,389,743 | 12,354,925 | 21,340,325 | 46,948,715 | 234,743,575 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -19 | -25 | -55 | -95 | -209 | -275 | -475 | -1,045 | -5,225 | -44,927 | -224,635 | -494,197 | -853,613 | -1,123,175 | -2,470,985 | -4,268,065 | -9,389,743 | -12,354,925 | -21,340,325 | -46,948,715 | -234,743,575 |
