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 234,744,775, 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 | 234,744,775 | |
| -1 | -234,744,775 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 234,744,775.
Example:
1 x 234,744,775 = 234,744,775
and
-1 x -234,744,775 = 234,744,775
Notice both answers equal 234,744,775
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 234,744,775 and divide it by 2:
234,744,775 ÷ 2 = 117,372,387.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 117,372,387.5 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 | 234,744,775 | |
| -1 | -234,744,775 |
Now, we try dividing 234,744,775 by 3:
234,744,775 ÷ 3 = 78,248,258.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 78,248,258.3333 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 | 234,744,775 | |
| -1 | -234,744,775 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
234,744,775 ÷ 4 = 58,686,193.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 58,686,193.75 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 | 234,744,775 | |
| -1 | 234,744,775 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 59 | 61 | 295 | 305 | 1,475 | 1,525 | 2,609 | 3,599 | 13,045 | 17,995 | 65,225 | 89,975 | 153,931 | 159,149 | 769,655 | 795,745 | 3,848,275 | 3,978,725 | 9,389,791 | 46,948,955 | 234,744,775 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -59 | -61 | -295 | -305 | -1,475 | -1,525 | -2,609 | -3,599 | -13,045 | -17,995 | -65,225 | -89,975 | -153,931 | -159,149 | -769,655 | -795,745 | -3,848,275 | -3,978,725 | -9,389,791 | -46,948,955 | -234,744,775 |
