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 42,002,233, 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 | 42,002,233 | |
| -1 | -42,002,233 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 42,002,233.
Example:
1 x 42,002,233 = 42,002,233
and
-1 x -42,002,233 = 42,002,233
Notice both answers equal 42,002,233
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 42,002,233 and divide it by 2:
42,002,233 ÷ 2 = 21,001,116.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,001,116.5 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 | 42,002,233 | |
| -1 | -42,002,233 |
Now, we try dividing 42,002,233 by 3:
42,002,233 ÷ 3 = 14,000,744.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,000,744.3333 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 | 42,002,233 | |
| -1 | -42,002,233 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
42,002,233 ÷ 4 = 10,500,558.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,500,558.25 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 | 42,002,233 | |
| -1 | 42,002,233 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 67 | 83 | 91 | 469 | 581 | 871 | 1,079 | 5,561 | 6,097 | 6,889 | 7,553 | 38,927 | 48,223 | 72,293 | 89,557 | 461,563 | 506,051 | 626,899 | 3,230,941 | 6,000,319 | 42,002,233 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -67 | -83 | -91 | -469 | -581 | -871 | -1,079 | -5,561 | -6,097 | -6,889 | -7,553 | -38,927 | -48,223 | -72,293 | -89,557 | -461,563 | -506,051 | -626,899 | -3,230,941 | -6,000,319 | -42,002,233 |
