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 244,809,395, 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 | 244,809,395 | |
| -1 | -244,809,395 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 244,809,395.
Example:
1 x 244,809,395 = 244,809,395
and
-1 x -244,809,395 = 244,809,395
Notice both answers equal 244,809,395
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 244,809,395 and divide it by 2:
244,809,395 ÷ 2 = 122,404,697.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 122,404,697.5 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 | 244,809,395 | |
| -1 | -244,809,395 |
Now, we try dividing 244,809,395 by 3:
244,809,395 ÷ 3 = 81,603,131.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 81,603,131.6667 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 | 244,809,395 | |
| -1 | -244,809,395 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
244,809,395 ÷ 4 = 61,202,348.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 61,202,348.75 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 | 244,809,395 | |
| -1 | 244,809,395 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 421 | 2,105 | 6,121 | 7,999 | 30,605 | 39,995 | 116,299 | 581,495 | 2,576,941 | 12,884,705 | 48,961,879 | 244,809,395 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -421 | -2,105 | -6,121 | -7,999 | -30,605 | -39,995 | -116,299 | -581,495 | -2,576,941 | -12,884,705 | -48,961,879 | -244,809,395 |
