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 244,464,199, 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 | 244,464,199 | |
| -1 | -244,464,199 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 244,464,199.
Example:
1 x 244,464,199 = 244,464,199
and
-1 x -244,464,199 = 244,464,199
Notice both answers equal 244,464,199
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 244,464,199 and divide it by 2:
244,464,199 ÷ 2 = 122,232,099.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 122,232,099.5 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 | 244,464,199 | |
| -1 | -244,464,199 |
Now, we try dividing 244,464,199 by 3:
244,464,199 ÷ 3 = 81,488,066.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 81,488,066.3333 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 | 244,464,199 | |
| -1 | -244,464,199 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
244,464,199 ÷ 4 = 61,116,049.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 61,116,049.75 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 | 244,464,199 | |
| -1 | 244,464,199 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 59 | 119 | 413 | 1,003 | 7,021 | 34,819 | 243,733 | 591,923 | 2,054,321 | 4,143,461 | 14,380,247 | 34,923,457 | 244,464,199 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -59 | -119 | -413 | -1,003 | -7,021 | -34,819 | -243,733 | -591,923 | -2,054,321 | -4,143,461 | -14,380,247 | -34,923,457 | -244,464,199 |
