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 236,627,615, 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 | 236,627,615 | |
| -1 | -236,627,615 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 236,627,615.
Example:
1 x 236,627,615 = 236,627,615
and
-1 x -236,627,615 = 236,627,615
Notice both answers equal 236,627,615
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 236,627,615 and divide it by 2:
236,627,615 ÷ 2 = 118,313,807.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 118,313,807.5 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 | 236,627,615 | |
| -1 | -236,627,615 |
Now, we try dividing 236,627,615 by 3:
236,627,615 ÷ 3 = 78,875,871.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 78,875,871.6667 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 | 236,627,615 | |
| -1 | -236,627,615 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
236,627,615 ÷ 4 = 59,156,903.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 59,156,903.75 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 | 236,627,615 | |
| -1 | 236,627,615 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 19 | 35 | 49 | 95 | 133 | 245 | 665 | 931 | 4,655 | 50,833 | 254,165 | 355,831 | 965,827 | 1,779,155 | 2,490,817 | 4,829,135 | 6,760,789 | 12,454,085 | 33,803,945 | 47,325,523 | 236,627,615 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -19 | -35 | -49 | -95 | -133 | -245 | -665 | -931 | -4,655 | -50,833 | -254,165 | -355,831 | -965,827 | -1,779,155 | -2,490,817 | -4,829,135 | -6,760,789 | -12,454,085 | -33,803,945 | -47,325,523 | -236,627,615 |
