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 222,923,104, 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 | 222,923,104 | |
| -1 | -222,923,104 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 222,923,104.
Example:
1 x 222,923,104 = 222,923,104
and
-1 x -222,923,104 = 222,923,104
Notice both answers equal 222,923,104
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 222,923,104 and divide it by 2:
222,923,104 ÷ 2 = 111,461,552
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 111,461,552 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 2 | 111,461,552 | 222,923,104 | |
| -1 | -2 | -111,461,552 | -222,923,104 |
Now, we try dividing 222,923,104 by 3:
222,923,104 ÷ 3 = 74,307,701.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 74,307,701.3333 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 | 2 | 111,461,552 | 222,923,104 | |
| -1 | -2 | -111,461,552 | -222,923,104 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
222,923,104 ÷ 4 = 55,730,776
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 55,730,776 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 2 | 4 | 55,730,776 | 111,461,552 | 222,923,104 | |
| -1 | -2 | -4 | -55,730,776 | -111,461,552 | 222,923,104 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 | 16 | 32 | 2,459 | 2,833 | 4,918 | 5,666 | 9,836 | 11,332 | 19,672 | 22,664 | 39,344 | 45,328 | 78,688 | 90,656 | 6,966,347 | 13,932,694 | 27,865,388 | 55,730,776 | 111,461,552 | 222,923,104 |
| -1 | -2 | -4 | -8 | -16 | -32 | -2,459 | -2,833 | -4,918 | -5,666 | -9,836 | -11,332 | -19,672 | -22,664 | -39,344 | -45,328 | -78,688 | -90,656 | -6,966,347 | -13,932,694 | -27,865,388 | -55,730,776 | -111,461,552 | -222,923,104 |
