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 224,203,343, 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 | 224,203,343 | |
| -1 | -224,203,343 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 224,203,343.
Example:
1 x 224,203,343 = 224,203,343
and
-1 x -224,203,343 = 224,203,343
Notice both answers equal 224,203,343
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 224,203,343 and divide it by 2:
224,203,343 ÷ 2 = 112,101,671.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 112,101,671.5 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 | 224,203,343 | |
| -1 | -224,203,343 |
Now, we try dividing 224,203,343 by 3:
224,203,343 ÷ 3 = 74,734,447.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 74,734,447.6667 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 | 224,203,343 | |
| -1 | -224,203,343 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
224,203,343 ÷ 4 = 56,050,835.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 56,050,835.75 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 | 224,203,343 | |
| -1 | 224,203,343 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 79 | 91 | 169 | 553 | 1,027 | 1,183 | 2,399 | 7,189 | 13,351 | 16,793 | 31,187 | 93,457 | 189,521 | 218,309 | 405,431 | 1,326,647 | 2,463,773 | 2,838,017 | 17,246,411 | 32,029,049 | 224,203,343 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -79 | -91 | -169 | -553 | -1,027 | -1,183 | -2,399 | -7,189 | -13,351 | -16,793 | -31,187 | -93,457 | -189,521 | -218,309 | -405,431 | -1,326,647 | -2,463,773 | -2,838,017 | -17,246,411 | -32,029,049 | -224,203,343 |
