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 240,770,375, 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 | 240,770,375 | |
| -1 | -240,770,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 240,770,375.
Example:
1 x 240,770,375 = 240,770,375
and
-1 x -240,770,375 = 240,770,375
Notice both answers equal 240,770,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 240,770,375 and divide it by 2:
240,770,375 ÷ 2 = 120,385,187.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 120,385,187.5 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 | 240,770,375 | |
| -1 | -240,770,375 |
Now, we try dividing 240,770,375 by 3:
240,770,375 ÷ 3 = 80,256,791.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 80,256,791.6667 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 | 240,770,375 | |
| -1 | -240,770,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
240,770,375 ÷ 4 = 60,192,593.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 60,192,593.75 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 | 240,770,375 | |
| -1 | 240,770,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 25 | 95 | 125 | 475 | 2,375 | 101,377 | 506,885 | 1,926,163 | 2,534,425 | 9,630,815 | 12,672,125 | 48,154,075 | 240,770,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -25 | -95 | -125 | -475 | -2,375 | -101,377 | -506,885 | -1,926,163 | -2,534,425 | -9,630,815 | -12,672,125 | -48,154,075 | -240,770,375 |
