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 224,104,435, 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 | 224,104,435 | |
| -1 | -224,104,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 224,104,435.
Example:
1 x 224,104,435 = 224,104,435
and
-1 x -224,104,435 = 224,104,435
Notice both answers equal 224,104,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 224,104,435 and divide it by 2:
224,104,435 ÷ 2 = 112,052,217.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 112,052,217.5 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 | 224,104,435 | |
| -1 | -224,104,435 |
Now, we try dividing 224,104,435 by 3:
224,104,435 ÷ 3 = 74,701,478.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 74,701,478.3333 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 | 224,104,435 | |
| -1 | -224,104,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
224,104,435 ÷ 4 = 56,026,108.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 56,026,108.75 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 | 224,104,435 | |
| -1 | 224,104,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 79 | 97 | 395 | 485 | 5,849 | 7,663 | 29,245 | 38,315 | 462,071 | 567,353 | 2,310,355 | 2,836,765 | 44,820,887 | 224,104,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -79 | -97 | -395 | -485 | -5,849 | -7,663 | -29,245 | -38,315 | -462,071 | -567,353 | -2,310,355 | -2,836,765 | -44,820,887 | -224,104,435 |
