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 224,440,315, 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 | 224,440,315 | |
| -1 | -224,440,315 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 224,440,315.
Example:
1 x 224,440,315 = 224,440,315
and
-1 x -224,440,315 = 224,440,315
Notice both answers equal 224,440,315
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 224,440,315 and divide it by 2:
224,440,315 ÷ 2 = 112,220,157.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 112,220,157.5 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 | 224,440,315 | |
| -1 | -224,440,315 |
Now, we try dividing 224,440,315 by 3:
224,440,315 ÷ 3 = 74,813,438.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 74,813,438.3333 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 | 224,440,315 | |
| -1 | -224,440,315 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
224,440,315 ÷ 4 = 56,110,078.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 56,110,078.75 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 | 224,440,315 | |
| -1 | 224,440,315 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 337 | 1,685 | 3,707 | 12,109 | 18,535 | 60,545 | 133,199 | 665,995 | 4,080,733 | 20,403,665 | 44,888,063 | 224,440,315 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -337 | -1,685 | -3,707 | -12,109 | -18,535 | -60,545 | -133,199 | -665,995 | -4,080,733 | -20,403,665 | -44,888,063 | -224,440,315 |
