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 224,224,013, 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 | 224,224,013 | |
| -1 | -224,224,013 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 224,224,013.
Example:
1 x 224,224,013 = 224,224,013
and
-1 x -224,224,013 = 224,224,013
Notice both answers equal 224,224,013
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 224,224,013 and divide it by 2:
224,224,013 ÷ 2 = 112,112,006.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 112,112,006.5 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 | 224,224,013 | |
| -1 | -224,224,013 |
Now, we try dividing 224,224,013 by 3:
224,224,013 ÷ 3 = 74,741,337.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 74,741,337.6667 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 | 224,224,013 | |
| -1 | -224,224,013 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
224,224,013 ÷ 4 = 56,056,003.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 56,056,003.25 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 | 224,224,013 | |
| -1 | 224,224,013 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 59 | 283 | 767 | 1,033 | 3,679 | 13,429 | 16,697 | 60,947 | 217,061 | 292,339 | 792,311 | 3,800,407 | 17,248,001 | 224,224,013 |
| -1 | -13 | -59 | -283 | -767 | -1,033 | -3,679 | -13,429 | -16,697 | -60,947 | -217,061 | -292,339 | -792,311 | -3,800,407 | -17,248,001 | -224,224,013 |
