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 236,003,375, 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 | 236,003,375 | |
| -1 | -236,003,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 236,003,375.
Example:
1 x 236,003,375 = 236,003,375
and
-1 x -236,003,375 = 236,003,375
Notice both answers equal 236,003,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 236,003,375 and divide it by 2:
236,003,375 ÷ 2 = 118,001,687.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 118,001,687.5 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 | 236,003,375 | |
| -1 | -236,003,375 |
Now, we try dividing 236,003,375 by 3:
236,003,375 ÷ 3 = 78,667,791.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 78,667,791.6667 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 | 236,003,375 | |
| -1 | -236,003,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
236,003,375 ÷ 4 = 59,000,843.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 59,000,843.75 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 | 236,003,375 | |
| -1 | 236,003,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 347 | 1,735 | 5,441 | 8,675 | 27,205 | 43,375 | 136,025 | 680,125 | 1,888,027 | 9,440,135 | 47,200,675 | 236,003,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -347 | -1,735 | -5,441 | -8,675 | -27,205 | -43,375 | -136,025 | -680,125 | -1,888,027 | -9,440,135 | -47,200,675 | -236,003,375 |
