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 226,625, 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 | 226,625 | |
| -1 | -226,625 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 226,625.
Example:
1 x 226,625 = 226,625
and
-1 x -226,625 = 226,625
Notice both answers equal 226,625
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 226,625 and divide it by 2:
226,625 ÷ 2 = 113,312.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 113,312.5 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 | 226,625 | |
| -1 | -226,625 |
Now, we try dividing 226,625 by 3:
226,625 ÷ 3 = 75,541.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 75,541.6667 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 | 226,625 | |
| -1 | -226,625 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
226,625 ÷ 4 = 56,656.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 56,656.25 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 | 226,625 | |
| -1 | 226,625 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 37 | 49 | 125 | 175 | 185 | 245 | 259 | 875 | 925 | 1,225 | 1,295 | 1,813 | 4,625 | 6,125 | 6,475 | 9,065 | 32,375 | 45,325 | 226,625 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -37 | -49 | -125 | -175 | -185 | -245 | -259 | -875 | -925 | -1,225 | -1,295 | -1,813 | -4,625 | -6,125 | -6,475 | -9,065 | -32,375 | -45,325 | -226,625 |
