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 240,234,241, 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 | 240,234,241 | |
| -1 | -240,234,241 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 240,234,241.
Example:
1 x 240,234,241 = 240,234,241
and
-1 x -240,234,241 = 240,234,241
Notice both answers equal 240,234,241
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 240,234,241 and divide it by 2:
240,234,241 ÷ 2 = 120,117,120.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 120,117,120.5 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 | 240,234,241 | |
| -1 | -240,234,241 |
Now, we try dividing 240,234,241 by 3:
240,234,241 ÷ 3 = 80,078,080.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 80,078,080.3333 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 | 240,234,241 | |
| -1 | -240,234,241 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
240,234,241 ÷ 4 = 60,058,560.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 60,058,560.25 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 | 240,234,241 | |
| -1 | 240,234,241 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 23 | 181 | 193 | 299 | 529 | 2,353 | 2,509 | 4,163 | 4,439 | 6,877 | 34,933 | 54,119 | 57,707 | 95,749 | 102,097 | 454,129 | 803,459 | 1,244,737 | 1,327,261 | 10,444,967 | 18,479,557 | 240,234,241 |
| -1 | -13 | -23 | -181 | -193 | -299 | -529 | -2,353 | -2,509 | -4,163 | -4,439 | -6,877 | -34,933 | -54,119 | -57,707 | -95,749 | -102,097 | -454,129 | -803,459 | -1,244,737 | -1,327,261 | -10,444,967 | -18,479,557 | -240,234,241 |
