How do I find the factor combinations of the number 22,102,025?

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 22,102,025, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 22,102,025
-1 -22,102,025

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,102,025.

Example:
1 x 22,102,025 = 22,102,025
and
-1 x -22,102,025 = 22,102,025
Notice both answers equal 22,102,025

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,102,025 and divide it by 2:

22,102,025 ÷ 2 = 11,051,012.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,051,012.5 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 22,102,025
-1 -22,102,025

Now, we try dividing 22,102,025 by 3:

22,102,025 ÷ 3 = 7,367,341.6667

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,367,341.6667 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 22,102,025
-1 -22,102,025

Let's try dividing by 4:

22,102,025 ÷ 4 = 5,525,506.25

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,525,506.25 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 22,102,025
-1 22,102,025
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

151125551792754498951,9692,2454,4754,9399,84511,22524,69549,22580,371123,475401,855884,0812,009,2754,420,40522,102,025
-1-5-11-25-55-179-275-449-895-1,969-2,245-4,475-4,939-9,845-11,225-24,695-49,225-80,371-123,475-401,855-884,081-2,009,275-4,420,405-22,102,025
