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 222,322,009, 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 | 222,322,009 | |
| -1 | -222,322,009 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 222,322,009.
Example:
1 x 222,322,009 = 222,322,009
and
-1 x -222,322,009 = 222,322,009
Notice both answers equal 222,322,009
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 222,322,009 and divide it by 2:
222,322,009 ÷ 2 = 111,161,004.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 111,161,004.5 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 | 222,322,009 | |
| -1 | -222,322,009 |
Now, we try dividing 222,322,009 by 3:
222,322,009 ÷ 3 = 74,107,336.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 74,107,336.3333 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 | 222,322,009 | |
| -1 | -222,322,009 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
222,322,009 ÷ 4 = 55,580,502.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 55,580,502.25 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 | 222,322,009 | |
| -1 | 222,322,009 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 127 | 889 | 1,651 | 11,557 | 19,237 | 134,659 | 250,081 | 1,750,567 | 2,443,099 | 17,101,693 | 31,760,287 | 222,322,009 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -127 | -889 | -1,651 | -11,557 | -19,237 | -134,659 | -250,081 | -1,750,567 | -2,443,099 | -17,101,693 | -31,760,287 | -222,322,009 |
