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 235,242,325, 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 | 235,242,325 | |
| -1 | -235,242,325 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 235,242,325.
Example:
1 x 235,242,325 = 235,242,325
and
-1 x -235,242,325 = 235,242,325
Notice both answers equal 235,242,325
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 235,242,325 and divide it by 2:
235,242,325 ÷ 2 = 117,621,162.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 117,621,162.5 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 | 235,242,325 | |
| -1 | -235,242,325 |
Now, we try dividing 235,242,325 by 3:
235,242,325 ÷ 3 = 78,414,108.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 78,414,108.3333 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 | 235,242,325 | |
| -1 | -235,242,325 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
235,242,325 ÷ 4 = 58,810,581.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 58,810,581.25 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 | 235,242,325 | |
| -1 | 235,242,325 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 25 | 95 | 449 | 475 | 1,103 | 2,245 | 5,515 | 8,531 | 11,225 | 20,957 | 27,575 | 42,655 | 104,785 | 213,275 | 495,247 | 523,925 | 2,476,235 | 9,409,693 | 12,381,175 | 47,048,465 | 235,242,325 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -25 | -95 | -449 | -475 | -1,103 | -2,245 | -5,515 | -8,531 | -11,225 | -20,957 | -27,575 | -42,655 | -104,785 | -213,275 | -495,247 | -523,925 | -2,476,235 | -9,409,693 | -12,381,175 | -47,048,465 | -235,242,325 |
