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 244,733,915, 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 | 244,733,915 | |
| -1 | -244,733,915 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 244,733,915.
Example:
1 x 244,733,915 = 244,733,915
and
-1 x -244,733,915 = 244,733,915
Notice both answers equal 244,733,915
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 244,733,915 and divide it by 2:
244,733,915 ÷ 2 = 122,366,957.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 122,366,957.5 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 | 244,733,915 | |
| -1 | -244,733,915 |
Now, we try dividing 244,733,915 by 3:
244,733,915 ÷ 3 = 81,577,971.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 81,577,971.6667 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 | 244,733,915 | |
| -1 | -244,733,915 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
244,733,915 ÷ 4 = 61,183,478.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 61,183,478.75 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 | 244,733,915 | |
| -1 | 244,733,915 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 67 | 115 | 335 | 529 | 1,381 | 1,541 | 2,645 | 6,905 | 7,705 | 31,763 | 35,443 | 92,527 | 158,815 | 177,215 | 462,635 | 730,549 | 2,128,121 | 3,652,745 | 10,640,605 | 48,946,783 | 244,733,915 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -67 | -115 | -335 | -529 | -1,381 | -1,541 | -2,645 | -6,905 | -7,705 | -31,763 | -35,443 | -92,527 | -158,815 | -177,215 | -462,635 | -730,549 | -2,128,121 | -3,652,745 | -10,640,605 | -48,946,783 | -244,733,915 |
