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 224,410,333, 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 | 224,410,333 | |
| -1 | -224,410,333 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 224,410,333.
Example:
1 x 224,410,333 = 224,410,333
and
-1 x -224,410,333 = 224,410,333
Notice both answers equal 224,410,333
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 224,410,333 and divide it by 2:
224,410,333 ÷ 2 = 112,205,166.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 112,205,166.5 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 | 224,410,333 | |
| -1 | -224,410,333 |
Now, we try dividing 224,410,333 by 3:
224,410,333 ÷ 3 = 74,803,444.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 74,803,444.3333 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 | 224,410,333 | |
| -1 | -224,410,333 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
224,410,333 ÷ 4 = 56,102,583.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 56,102,583.25 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 | 224,410,333 | |
| -1 | 224,410,333 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 31 | 161 | 217 | 713 | 4,991 | 44,963 | 314,741 | 1,034,149 | 1,393,853 | 7,239,043 | 9,756,971 | 32,058,619 | 224,410,333 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -31 | -161 | -217 | -713 | -4,991 | -44,963 | -314,741 | -1,034,149 | -1,393,853 | -7,239,043 | -9,756,971 | -32,058,619 | -224,410,333 |
