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 244,210,375, 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 | 244,210,375 | |
| -1 | -244,210,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 244,210,375.
Example:
1 x 244,210,375 = 244,210,375
and
-1 x -244,210,375 = 244,210,375
Notice both answers equal 244,210,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 244,210,375 and divide it by 2:
244,210,375 ÷ 2 = 122,105,187.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 122,105,187.5 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 | 244,210,375 | |
| -1 | -244,210,375 |
Now, we try dividing 244,210,375 by 3:
244,210,375 ÷ 3 = 81,403,458.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 81,403,458.3333 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 | 244,210,375 | |
| -1 | -244,210,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
244,210,375 ÷ 4 = 61,052,593.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 61,052,593.75 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 | 244,210,375 | |
| -1 | 244,210,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 383 | 1,915 | 5,101 | 9,575 | 25,505 | 47,875 | 127,525 | 637,625 | 1,953,683 | 9,768,415 | 48,842,075 | 244,210,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -383 | -1,915 | -5,101 | -9,575 | -25,505 | -47,875 | -127,525 | -637,625 | -1,953,683 | -9,768,415 | -48,842,075 | -244,210,375 |
