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 234,800,755, 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 | 234,800,755 | |
| -1 | -234,800,755 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 234,800,755.
Example:
1 x 234,800,755 = 234,800,755
and
-1 x -234,800,755 = 234,800,755
Notice both answers equal 234,800,755
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 234,800,755 and divide it by 2:
234,800,755 ÷ 2 = 117,400,377.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 117,400,377.5 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 | 234,800,755 | |
| -1 | -234,800,755 |
Now, we try dividing 234,800,755 by 3:
234,800,755 ÷ 3 = 78,266,918.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 78,266,918.3333 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 | 234,800,755 | |
| -1 | -234,800,755 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
234,800,755 ÷ 4 = 58,700,188.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 58,700,188.75 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 | 234,800,755 | |
| -1 | 234,800,755 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 1,063 | 5,315 | 6,311 | 7,441 | 31,555 | 37,205 | 44,177 | 220,885 | 6,708,593 | 33,542,965 | 46,960,151 | 234,800,755 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -1,063 | -5,315 | -6,311 | -7,441 | -31,555 | -37,205 | -44,177 | -220,885 | -6,708,593 | -33,542,965 | -46,960,151 | -234,800,755 |
