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 235,543,525, 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 | 235,543,525 | |
| -1 | -235,543,525 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 235,543,525.
Example:
1 x 235,543,525 = 235,543,525
and
-1 x -235,543,525 = 235,543,525
Notice both answers equal 235,543,525
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 235,543,525 and divide it by 2:
235,543,525 ÷ 2 = 117,771,762.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 117,771,762.5 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 | 235,543,525 | |
| -1 | -235,543,525 |
Now, we try dividing 235,543,525 by 3:
235,543,525 ÷ 3 = 78,514,508.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 78,514,508.3333 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 | 235,543,525 | |
| -1 | -235,543,525 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
235,543,525 ÷ 4 = 58,885,881.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 58,885,881.25 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 | 235,543,525 | |
| -1 | 235,543,525 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 67 | 175 | 335 | 469 | 1,675 | 2,345 | 11,725 | 20,089 | 100,445 | 140,623 | 502,225 | 703,115 | 1,345,963 | 3,515,575 | 6,729,815 | 9,421,741 | 33,649,075 | 47,108,705 | 235,543,525 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -67 | -175 | -335 | -469 | -1,675 | -2,345 | -11,725 | -20,089 | -100,445 | -140,623 | -502,225 | -703,115 | -1,345,963 | -3,515,575 | -6,729,815 | -9,421,741 | -33,649,075 | -47,108,705 | -235,543,525 |
