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 244,254,367, 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 | 244,254,367 | |
| -1 | -244,254,367 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 244,254,367.
Example:
1 x 244,254,367 = 244,254,367
and
-1 x -244,254,367 = 244,254,367
Notice both answers equal 244,254,367
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 244,254,367 and divide it by 2:
244,254,367 ÷ 2 = 122,127,183.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 122,127,183.5 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 | 244,254,367 | |
| -1 | -244,254,367 |
Now, we try dividing 244,254,367 by 3:
244,254,367 ÷ 3 = 81,418,122.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 81,418,122.3333 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 | 244,254,367 | |
| -1 | -244,254,367 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
244,254,367 ÷ 4 = 61,063,591.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 61,063,591.75 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 | 244,254,367 | |
| -1 | 244,254,367 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 49 | 133 | 167 | 931 | 1,169 | 1,571 | 3,173 | 8,183 | 10,997 | 22,211 | 29,849 | 76,979 | 155,477 | 208,943 | 262,357 | 1,462,601 | 1,836,499 | 4,984,783 | 12,855,493 | 34,893,481 | 244,254,367 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -49 | -133 | -167 | -931 | -1,169 | -1,571 | -3,173 | -8,183 | -10,997 | -22,211 | -29,849 | -76,979 | -155,477 | -208,943 | -262,357 | -1,462,601 | -1,836,499 | -4,984,783 | -12,855,493 | -34,893,481 | -244,254,367 |
