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 240,252,325, 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 | 240,252,325 | |
| -1 | -240,252,325 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 240,252,325.
Example:
1 x 240,252,325 = 240,252,325
and
-1 x -240,252,325 = 240,252,325
Notice both answers equal 240,252,325
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 240,252,325 and divide it by 2:
240,252,325 ÷ 2 = 120,126,162.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 120,126,162.5 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 | 240,252,325 | |
| -1 | -240,252,325 |
Now, we try dividing 240,252,325 by 3:
240,252,325 ÷ 3 = 80,084,108.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 80,084,108.3333 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 | 240,252,325 | |
| -1 | -240,252,325 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
240,252,325 ÷ 4 = 60,063,081.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 60,063,081.25 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 | 240,252,325 | |
| -1 | 240,252,325 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 31 | 151 | 155 | 755 | 775 | 2,053 | 3,775 | 4,681 | 10,265 | 23,405 | 51,325 | 63,643 | 117,025 | 310,003 | 318,215 | 1,550,015 | 1,591,075 | 7,750,075 | 9,610,093 | 48,050,465 | 240,252,325 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -31 | -151 | -155 | -755 | -775 | -2,053 | -3,775 | -4,681 | -10,265 | -23,405 | -51,325 | -63,643 | -117,025 | -310,003 | -318,215 | -1,550,015 | -1,591,075 | -7,750,075 | -9,610,093 | -48,050,465 | -240,252,325 |
