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 234,550,225, 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 | 234,550,225 | |
| -1 | -234,550,225 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 234,550,225.
Example:
1 x 234,550,225 = 234,550,225
and
-1 x -234,550,225 = 234,550,225
Notice both answers equal 234,550,225
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 234,550,225 and divide it by 2:
234,550,225 ÷ 2 = 117,275,112.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 117,275,112.5 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 | 234,550,225 | |
| -1 | -234,550,225 |
Now, we try dividing 234,550,225 by 3:
234,550,225 ÷ 3 = 78,183,408.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 78,183,408.3333 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 | 234,550,225 | |
| -1 | -234,550,225 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
234,550,225 ÷ 4 = 58,637,556.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 58,637,556.25 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 | 234,550,225 | |
| -1 | 234,550,225 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 13 | 25 | 35 | 65 | 91 | 175 | 325 | 455 | 2,275 | 103,099 | 515,495 | 721,693 | 1,340,287 | 2,577,475 | 3,608,465 | 6,701,435 | 9,382,009 | 18,042,325 | 33,507,175 | 46,910,045 | 234,550,225 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -13 | -25 | -35 | -65 | -91 | -175 | -325 | -455 | -2,275 | -103,099 | -515,495 | -721,693 | -1,340,287 | -2,577,475 | -3,608,465 | -6,701,435 | -9,382,009 | -18,042,325 | -33,507,175 | -46,910,045 | -234,550,225 |
