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 224,455,033, 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 | 224,455,033 | |
| -1 | -224,455,033 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 224,455,033.
Example:
1 x 224,455,033 = 224,455,033
and
-1 x -224,455,033 = 224,455,033
Notice both answers equal 224,455,033
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 224,455,033 and divide it by 2:
224,455,033 ÷ 2 = 112,227,516.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 112,227,516.5 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 | 224,455,033 | |
| -1 | -224,455,033 |
Now, we try dividing 224,455,033 by 3:
224,455,033 ÷ 3 = 74,818,344.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 74,818,344.3333 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 | 224,455,033 | |
| -1 | -224,455,033 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
224,455,033 ÷ 4 = 56,113,758.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 56,113,758.25 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 | 224,455,033 | |
| -1 | 224,455,033 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 41 | 47 | 451 | 517 | 1,927 | 10,589 | 21,197 | 116,479 | 434,149 | 497,683 | 4,775,639 | 5,474,513 | 20,405,003 | 224,455,033 |
| -1 | -11 | -41 | -47 | -451 | -517 | -1,927 | -10,589 | -21,197 | -116,479 | -434,149 | -497,683 | -4,775,639 | -5,474,513 | -20,405,003 | -224,455,033 |
