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 224,133,013, 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 | 224,133,013 | |
| -1 | -224,133,013 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 224,133,013.
Example:
1 x 224,133,013 = 224,133,013
and
-1 x -224,133,013 = 224,133,013
Notice both answers equal 224,133,013
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 224,133,013 and divide it by 2:
224,133,013 ÷ 2 = 112,066,506.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 112,066,506.5 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 | 224,133,013 | |
| -1 | -224,133,013 |
Now, we try dividing 224,133,013 by 3:
224,133,013 ÷ 3 = 74,711,004.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 74,711,004.3333 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 | 224,133,013 | |
| -1 | -224,133,013 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
224,133,013 ÷ 4 = 56,033,253.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 56,033,253.25 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 | 224,133,013 | |
| -1 | 224,133,013 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 37 | 71 | 481 | 923 | 2,627 | 6,563 | 34,151 | 85,319 | 242,831 | 465,973 | 3,156,803 | 6,057,649 | 17,241,001 | 224,133,013 |
| -1 | -13 | -37 | -71 | -481 | -923 | -2,627 | -6,563 | -34,151 | -85,319 | -242,831 | -465,973 | -3,156,803 | -6,057,649 | -17,241,001 | -224,133,013 |
