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 224,418,415, 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 | 224,418,415 | |
| -1 | -224,418,415 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 224,418,415.
Example:
1 x 224,418,415 = 224,418,415
and
-1 x -224,418,415 = 224,418,415
Notice both answers equal 224,418,415
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 224,418,415 and divide it by 2:
224,418,415 ÷ 2 = 112,209,207.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 112,209,207.5 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 | 224,418,415 | |
| -1 | -224,418,415 |
Now, we try dividing 224,418,415 by 3:
224,418,415 ÷ 3 = 74,806,138.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 74,806,138.3333 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 | 224,418,415 | |
| -1 | -224,418,415 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
224,418,415 ÷ 4 = 56,104,603.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 56,104,603.75 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 | 224,418,415 | |
| -1 | 224,418,415 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 463 | 2,315 | 6,019 | 7,457 | 30,095 | 37,285 | 96,941 | 484,705 | 3,452,591 | 17,262,955 | 44,883,683 | 224,418,415 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -463 | -2,315 | -6,019 | -7,457 | -30,095 | -37,285 | -96,941 | -484,705 | -3,452,591 | -17,262,955 | -44,883,683 | -224,418,415 |
