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 223,014,253, 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 | 223,014,253 | |
| -1 | -223,014,253 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 223,014,253.
Example:
1 x 223,014,253 = 223,014,253
and
-1 x -223,014,253 = 223,014,253
Notice both answers equal 223,014,253
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 223,014,253 and divide it by 2:
223,014,253 ÷ 2 = 111,507,126.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 111,507,126.5 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 | 223,014,253 | |
| -1 | -223,014,253 |
Now, we try dividing 223,014,253 by 3:
223,014,253 ÷ 3 = 74,338,084.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 74,338,084.3333 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 | 223,014,253 | |
| -1 | -223,014,253 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
223,014,253 ÷ 4 = 55,753,563.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 55,753,563.25 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 | 223,014,253 | |
| -1 | 223,014,253 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 121 | 251 | 847 | 1,049 | 1,757 | 2,761 | 7,343 | 11,539 | 19,327 | 30,371 | 80,773 | 126,929 | 212,597 | 263,299 | 888,503 | 1,843,093 | 2,896,289 | 20,274,023 | 31,859,179 | 223,014,253 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -121 | -251 | -847 | -1,049 | -1,757 | -2,761 | -7,343 | -11,539 | -19,327 | -30,371 | -80,773 | -126,929 | -212,597 | -263,299 | -888,503 | -1,843,093 | -2,896,289 | -20,274,023 | -31,859,179 | -223,014,253 |
