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 244,154,305, 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 | 244,154,305 | |
| -1 | -244,154,305 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 244,154,305.
Example:
1 x 244,154,305 = 244,154,305
and
-1 x -244,154,305 = 244,154,305
Notice both answers equal 244,154,305
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 244,154,305 and divide it by 2:
244,154,305 ÷ 2 = 122,077,152.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 122,077,152.5 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 | 244,154,305 | |
| -1 | -244,154,305 |
Now, we try dividing 244,154,305 by 3:
244,154,305 ÷ 3 = 81,384,768.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 81,384,768.3333 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 | 244,154,305 | |
| -1 | -244,154,305 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
244,154,305 ÷ 4 = 61,038,576.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 61,038,576.25 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 | 244,154,305 | |
| -1 | 244,154,305 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 53 | 185 | 265 | 673 | 1,369 | 1,961 | 3,365 | 6,845 | 9,805 | 24,901 | 35,669 | 72,557 | 124,505 | 178,345 | 362,785 | 921,337 | 1,319,753 | 4,606,685 | 6,598,765 | 48,830,861 | 244,154,305 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -53 | -185 | -265 | -673 | -1,369 | -1,961 | -3,365 | -6,845 | -9,805 | -24,901 | -35,669 | -72,557 | -124,505 | -178,345 | -362,785 | -921,337 | -1,319,753 | -4,606,685 | -6,598,765 | -48,830,861 | -244,154,305 |
