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 222,333,611, 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 | 222,333,611 | |
| -1 | -222,333,611 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 222,333,611.
Example:
1 x 222,333,611 = 222,333,611
and
-1 x -222,333,611 = 222,333,611
Notice both answers equal 222,333,611
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 222,333,611 and divide it by 2:
222,333,611 ÷ 2 = 111,166,805.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 111,166,805.5 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 | 222,333,611 | |
| -1 | -222,333,611 |
Now, we try dividing 222,333,611 by 3:
222,333,611 ÷ 3 = 74,111,203.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 74,111,203.6667 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 | 222,333,611 | |
| -1 | -222,333,611 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
222,333,611 ÷ 4 = 55,583,402.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 55,583,402.75 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 | 222,333,611 | |
| -1 | 222,333,611 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 41 | 269 | 779 | 1,061 | 5,111 | 11,029 | 20,159 | 43,501 | 209,551 | 285,409 | 826,519 | 5,422,771 | 11,701,769 | 222,333,611 |
| -1 | -19 | -41 | -269 | -779 | -1,061 | -5,111 | -11,029 | -20,159 | -43,501 | -209,551 | -285,409 | -826,519 | -5,422,771 | -11,701,769 | -222,333,611 |
