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 226,166,015, 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 | 226,166,015 | |
| -1 | -226,166,015 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 226,166,015.
Example:
1 x 226,166,015 = 226,166,015
and
-1 x -226,166,015 = 226,166,015
Notice both answers equal 226,166,015
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 226,166,015 and divide it by 2:
226,166,015 ÷ 2 = 113,083,007.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 113,083,007.5 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 | 226,166,015 | |
| -1 | -226,166,015 |
Now, we try dividing 226,166,015 by 3:
226,166,015 ÷ 3 = 75,388,671.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 75,388,671.6667 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 | 226,166,015 | |
| -1 | -226,166,015 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
226,166,015 ÷ 4 = 56,541,503.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 56,541,503.75 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 | 226,166,015 | |
| -1 | 226,166,015 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 37 | 115 | 185 | 529 | 851 | 2,311 | 2,645 | 4,255 | 11,555 | 19,573 | 53,153 | 85,507 | 97,865 | 265,765 | 427,535 | 1,222,519 | 1,966,661 | 6,112,595 | 9,833,305 | 45,233,203 | 226,166,015 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -37 | -115 | -185 | -529 | -851 | -2,311 | -2,645 | -4,255 | -11,555 | -19,573 | -53,153 | -85,507 | -97,865 | -265,765 | -427,535 | -1,222,519 | -1,966,661 | -6,112,595 | -9,833,305 | -45,233,203 | -226,166,015 |
