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 241,432,225, 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 | 241,432,225 | |
| -1 | -241,432,225 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 241,432,225.
Example:
1 x 241,432,225 = 241,432,225
and
-1 x -241,432,225 = 241,432,225
Notice both answers equal 241,432,225
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 241,432,225 and divide it by 2:
241,432,225 ÷ 2 = 120,716,112.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 120,716,112.5 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 | 241,432,225 | |
| -1 | -241,432,225 |
Now, we try dividing 241,432,225 by 3:
241,432,225 ÷ 3 = 80,477,408.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 80,477,408.3333 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 | 241,432,225 | |
| -1 | -241,432,225 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
241,432,225 ÷ 4 = 60,358,056.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 60,358,056.25 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 | 241,432,225 | |
| -1 | 241,432,225 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 53 | 257 | 265 | 709 | 1,285 | 1,325 | 3,545 | 6,425 | 13,621 | 17,725 | 37,577 | 68,105 | 182,213 | 187,885 | 340,525 | 911,065 | 939,425 | 4,555,325 | 9,657,289 | 48,286,445 | 241,432,225 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -53 | -257 | -265 | -709 | -1,285 | -1,325 | -3,545 | -6,425 | -13,621 | -17,725 | -37,577 | -68,105 | -182,213 | -187,885 | -340,525 | -911,065 | -939,425 | -4,555,325 | -9,657,289 | -48,286,445 | -241,432,225 |
