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 226,252,475, 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 | 226,252,475 | |
| -1 | -226,252,475 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 226,252,475.
Example:
1 x 226,252,475 = 226,252,475
and
-1 x -226,252,475 = 226,252,475
Notice both answers equal 226,252,475
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 226,252,475 and divide it by 2:
226,252,475 ÷ 2 = 113,126,237.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 113,126,237.5 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 | 226,252,475 | |
| -1 | -226,252,475 |
Now, we try dividing 226,252,475 by 3:
226,252,475 ÷ 3 = 75,417,491.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 75,417,491.6667 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 | 226,252,475 | |
| -1 | -226,252,475 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
226,252,475 ÷ 4 = 56,563,118.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 56,563,118.75 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 | 226,252,475 | |
| -1 | 226,252,475 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 25 | 95 | 373 | 475 | 1,277 | 1,865 | 6,385 | 7,087 | 9,325 | 24,263 | 31,925 | 35,435 | 121,315 | 177,175 | 476,321 | 606,575 | 2,381,605 | 9,050,099 | 11,908,025 | 45,250,495 | 226,252,475 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -25 | -95 | -373 | -475 | -1,277 | -1,865 | -6,385 | -7,087 | -9,325 | -24,263 | -31,925 | -35,435 | -121,315 | -177,175 | -476,321 | -606,575 | -2,381,605 | -9,050,099 | -11,908,025 | -45,250,495 | -226,252,475 |
