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 224,434,525, 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 | 224,434,525 | |
| -1 | -224,434,525 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 224,434,525.
Example:
1 x 224,434,525 = 224,434,525
and
-1 x -224,434,525 = 224,434,525
Notice both answers equal 224,434,525
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 224,434,525 and divide it by 2:
224,434,525 ÷ 2 = 112,217,262.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 112,217,262.5 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 | 224,434,525 | |
| -1 | -224,434,525 |
Now, we try dividing 224,434,525 by 3:
224,434,525 ÷ 3 = 74,811,508.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 74,811,508.3333 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 | 224,434,525 | |
| -1 | -224,434,525 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
224,434,525 ÷ 4 = 56,108,631.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 56,108,631.25 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 | 224,434,525 | |
| -1 | 224,434,525 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 59 | 175 | 295 | 413 | 1,475 | 2,065 | 10,325 | 21,737 | 108,685 | 152,159 | 543,425 | 760,795 | 1,282,483 | 3,803,975 | 6,412,415 | 8,977,381 | 32,062,075 | 44,886,905 | 224,434,525 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -59 | -175 | -295 | -413 | -1,475 | -2,065 | -10,325 | -21,737 | -108,685 | -152,159 | -543,425 | -760,795 | -1,282,483 | -3,803,975 | -6,412,415 | -8,977,381 | -32,062,075 | -44,886,905 | -224,434,525 |
