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 235,104,475, 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 | 235,104,475 | |
| -1 | -235,104,475 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 235,104,475.
Example:
1 x 235,104,475 = 235,104,475
and
-1 x -235,104,475 = 235,104,475
Notice both answers equal 235,104,475
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 235,104,475 and divide it by 2:
235,104,475 ÷ 2 = 117,552,237.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 117,552,237.5 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 | 235,104,475 | |
| -1 | -235,104,475 |
Now, we try dividing 235,104,475 by 3:
235,104,475 ÷ 3 = 78,368,158.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 78,368,158.3333 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 | 235,104,475 | |
| -1 | -235,104,475 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
235,104,475 ÷ 4 = 58,776,118.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 58,776,118.75 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 | 235,104,475 | |
| -1 | 235,104,475 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 25 | 37 | 85 | 185 | 425 | 629 | 925 | 3,145 | 14,951 | 15,725 | 74,755 | 254,167 | 373,775 | 553,187 | 1,270,835 | 2,765,935 | 6,354,175 | 9,404,179 | 13,829,675 | 47,020,895 | 235,104,475 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -25 | -37 | -85 | -185 | -425 | -629 | -925 | -3,145 | -14,951 | -15,725 | -74,755 | -254,167 | -373,775 | -553,187 | -1,270,835 | -2,765,935 | -6,354,175 | -9,404,179 | -13,829,675 | -47,020,895 | -235,104,475 |
