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 235,562,125, 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 | 235,562,125 | |
| -1 | -235,562,125 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 235,562,125.
Example:
1 x 235,562,125 = 235,562,125
and
-1 x -235,562,125 = 235,562,125
Notice both answers equal 235,562,125
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 235,562,125 and divide it by 2:
235,562,125 ÷ 2 = 117,781,062.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 117,781,062.5 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 | 235,562,125 | |
| -1 | -235,562,125 |
Now, we try dividing 235,562,125 by 3:
235,562,125 ÷ 3 = 78,520,708.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 78,520,708.3333 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 | 235,562,125 | |
| -1 | -235,562,125 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
235,562,125 ÷ 4 = 58,890,531.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 58,890,531.25 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 | 235,562,125 | |
| -1 | 235,562,125 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 283 | 1,415 | 6,659 | 7,075 | 33,295 | 35,375 | 166,475 | 832,375 | 1,884,497 | 9,422,485 | 47,112,425 | 235,562,125 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -283 | -1,415 | -6,659 | -7,075 | -33,295 | -35,375 | -166,475 | -832,375 | -1,884,497 | -9,422,485 | -47,112,425 | -235,562,125 |
