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 226,555,511, 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 | 226,555,511 | |
| -1 | -226,555,511 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 226,555,511.
Example:
1 x 226,555,511 = 226,555,511
and
-1 x -226,555,511 = 226,555,511
Notice both answers equal 226,555,511
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 226,555,511 and divide it by 2:
226,555,511 ÷ 2 = 113,277,755.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 113,277,755.5 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 | 226,555,511 | |
| -1 | -226,555,511 |
Now, we try dividing 226,555,511 by 3:
226,555,511 ÷ 3 = 75,518,503.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 75,518,503.6667 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 | 226,555,511 | |
| -1 | -226,555,511 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
226,555,511 ÷ 4 = 56,638,877.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 56,638,877.75 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 | 226,555,511 | |
| -1 | 226,555,511 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 29 | 91 | 203 | 293 | 377 | 2,051 | 2,639 | 3,809 | 8,497 | 26,663 | 59,479 | 85,849 | 110,461 | 600,943 | 773,227 | 1,116,037 | 2,489,621 | 7,812,259 | 17,427,347 | 32,365,073 | 226,555,511 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -29 | -91 | -203 | -293 | -377 | -2,051 | -2,639 | -3,809 | -8,497 | -26,663 | -59,479 | -85,849 | -110,461 | -600,943 | -773,227 | -1,116,037 | -2,489,621 | -7,812,259 | -17,427,347 | -32,365,073 | -226,555,511 |
