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 73,202,233, 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 | 73,202,233 | |
| -1 | -73,202,233 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 73,202,233.
Example:
1 x 73,202,233 = 73,202,233
and
-1 x -73,202,233 = 73,202,233
Notice both answers equal 73,202,233
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 73,202,233 and divide it by 2:
73,202,233 ÷ 2 = 36,601,116.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 36,601,116.5 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 | 73,202,233 | |
| -1 | -73,202,233 |
Now, we try dividing 73,202,233 by 3:
73,202,233 ÷ 3 = 24,400,744.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 24,400,744.3333 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 | 73,202,233 | |
| -1 | -73,202,233 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
73,202,233 ÷ 4 = 18,300,558.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 18,300,558.25 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 | 73,202,233 | |
| -1 | 73,202,233 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 89 | 151 | 419 | 1,157 | 1,963 | 5,447 | 13,439 | 37,291 | 63,269 | 174,707 | 484,783 | 822,497 | 5,630,941 | 73,202,233 |
| -1 | -13 | -89 | -151 | -419 | -1,157 | -1,963 | -5,447 | -13,439 | -37,291 | -63,269 | -174,707 | -484,783 | -822,497 | -5,630,941 | -73,202,233 |
