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 241,404,233, 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 | 241,404,233 | |
| -1 | -241,404,233 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 241,404,233.
Example:
1 x 241,404,233 = 241,404,233
and
-1 x -241,404,233 = 241,404,233
Notice both answers equal 241,404,233
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 241,404,233 and divide it by 2:
241,404,233 ÷ 2 = 120,702,116.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 120,702,116.5 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 | 241,404,233 | |
| -1 | -241,404,233 |
Now, we try dividing 241,404,233 by 3:
241,404,233 ÷ 3 = 80,468,077.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 80,468,077.6667 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 | 241,404,233 | |
| -1 | -241,404,233 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
241,404,233 ÷ 4 = 60,351,058.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 60,351,058.25 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 | 241,404,233 | |
| -1 | 241,404,233 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 49 | 119 | 179 | 833 | 1,253 | 1,619 | 3,043 | 8,771 | 11,333 | 21,301 | 27,523 | 79,331 | 149,107 | 192,661 | 289,801 | 1,348,627 | 2,028,607 | 4,926,617 | 14,200,249 | 34,486,319 | 241,404,233 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -49 | -119 | -179 | -833 | -1,253 | -1,619 | -3,043 | -8,771 | -11,333 | -21,301 | -27,523 | -79,331 | -149,107 | -192,661 | -289,801 | -1,348,627 | -2,028,607 | -4,926,617 | -14,200,249 | -34,486,319 | -241,404,233 |
