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 240,114,433, 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 | 240,114,433 | |
| -1 | -240,114,433 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 240,114,433.
Example:
1 x 240,114,433 = 240,114,433
and
-1 x -240,114,433 = 240,114,433
Notice both answers equal 240,114,433
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 240,114,433 and divide it by 2:
240,114,433 ÷ 2 = 120,057,216.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 120,057,216.5 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 | 240,114,433 | |
| -1 | -240,114,433 |
Now, we try dividing 240,114,433 by 3:
240,114,433 ÷ 3 = 80,038,144.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 80,038,144.3333 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 | 240,114,433 | |
| -1 | -240,114,433 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
240,114,433 ÷ 4 = 60,028,608.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 60,028,608.25 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 | 240,114,433 | |
| -1 | 240,114,433 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 53 | 563 | 619 | 689 | 7,319 | 8,047 | 29,839 | 32,807 | 348,497 | 387,907 | 426,491 | 4,530,461 | 18,470,341 | 240,114,433 |
| -1 | -13 | -53 | -563 | -619 | -689 | -7,319 | -8,047 | -29,839 | -32,807 | -348,497 | -387,907 | -426,491 | -4,530,461 | -18,470,341 | -240,114,433 |
