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 241,061,225, 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 | 241,061,225 | |
| -1 | -241,061,225 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 241,061,225.
Example:
1 x 241,061,225 = 241,061,225
and
-1 x -241,061,225 = 241,061,225
Notice both answers equal 241,061,225
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 241,061,225 and divide it by 2:
241,061,225 ÷ 2 = 120,530,612.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 120,530,612.5 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 | 241,061,225 | |
| -1 | -241,061,225 |
Now, we try dividing 241,061,225 by 3:
241,061,225 ÷ 3 = 80,353,741.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 80,353,741.6667 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 | 241,061,225 | |
| -1 | -241,061,225 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
241,061,225 ÷ 4 = 60,265,306.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 60,265,306.25 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 | 241,061,225 | |
| -1 | 241,061,225 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 43 | 53 | 215 | 265 | 1,075 | 1,325 | 2,279 | 4,231 | 11,395 | 21,155 | 56,975 | 105,775 | 181,933 | 224,243 | 909,665 | 1,121,215 | 4,548,325 | 5,606,075 | 9,642,449 | 48,212,245 | 241,061,225 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -43 | -53 | -215 | -265 | -1,075 | -1,325 | -2,279 | -4,231 | -11,395 | -21,155 | -56,975 | -105,775 | -181,933 | -224,243 | -909,665 | -1,121,215 | -4,548,325 | -5,606,075 | -9,642,449 | -48,212,245 | -241,061,225 |
