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 222,340,235, 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 | 222,340,235 | |
| -1 | -222,340,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 222,340,235.
Example:
1 x 222,340,235 = 222,340,235
and
-1 x -222,340,235 = 222,340,235
Notice both answers equal 222,340,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 222,340,235 and divide it by 2:
222,340,235 ÷ 2 = 111,170,117.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 111,170,117.5 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 | 222,340,235 | |
| -1 | -222,340,235 |
Now, we try dividing 222,340,235 by 3:
222,340,235 ÷ 3 = 74,113,411.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 74,113,411.6667 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 | 222,340,235 | |
| -1 | -222,340,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
222,340,235 ÷ 4 = 55,585,058.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 55,585,058.75 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 | 222,340,235 | |
| -1 | 222,340,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 191 | 955 | 2,483 | 12,415 | 17,909 | 89,545 | 232,817 | 1,164,085 | 3,420,619 | 17,103,095 | 44,468,047 | 222,340,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -191 | -955 | -2,483 | -12,415 | -17,909 | -89,545 | -232,817 | -1,164,085 | -3,420,619 | -17,103,095 | -44,468,047 | -222,340,235 |
