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 224,653,027, 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 | 224,653,027 | |
| -1 | -224,653,027 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 224,653,027.
Example:
1 x 224,653,027 = 224,653,027
and
-1 x -224,653,027 = 224,653,027
Notice both answers equal 224,653,027
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 224,653,027 and divide it by 2:
224,653,027 ÷ 2 = 112,326,513.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 112,326,513.5 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 | 224,653,027 | |
| -1 | -224,653,027 |
Now, we try dividing 224,653,027 by 3:
224,653,027 ÷ 3 = 74,884,342.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 74,884,342.3333 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 | 224,653,027 | |
| -1 | -224,653,027 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
224,653,027 ÷ 4 = 56,163,256.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 56,163,256.75 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 | 224,653,027 | |
| -1 | 224,653,027 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 43 | 107 | 157 | 311 | 4,601 | 6,751 | 13,373 | 16,799 | 33,277 | 48,827 | 722,357 | 1,430,911 | 2,099,561 | 5,224,489 | 224,653,027 |
| -1 | -43 | -107 | -157 | -311 | -4,601 | -6,751 | -13,373 | -16,799 | -33,277 | -48,827 | -722,357 | -1,430,911 | -2,099,561 | -5,224,489 | -224,653,027 |
