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 224,050,345, 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 | 224,050,345 | |
| -1 | -224,050,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 224,050,345.
Example:
1 x 224,050,345 = 224,050,345
and
-1 x -224,050,345 = 224,050,345
Notice both answers equal 224,050,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 224,050,345 and divide it by 2:
224,050,345 ÷ 2 = 112,025,172.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 112,025,172.5 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 | 224,050,345 | |
| -1 | -224,050,345 |
Now, we try dividing 224,050,345 by 3:
224,050,345 ÷ 3 = 74,683,448.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 74,683,448.3333 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 | 224,050,345 | |
| -1 | -224,050,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
224,050,345 ÷ 4 = 56,012,586.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 56,012,586.25 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 | 224,050,345 | |
| -1 | 224,050,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 53 | 67 | 265 | 335 | 3,551 | 12,619 | 17,755 | 63,095 | 668,807 | 845,473 | 3,344,035 | 4,227,365 | 44,810,069 | 224,050,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -53 | -67 | -265 | -335 | -3,551 | -12,619 | -17,755 | -63,095 | -668,807 | -845,473 | -3,344,035 | -4,227,365 | -44,810,069 | -224,050,345 |
