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 241,624,145, 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 | 241,624,145 | |
| -1 | -241,624,145 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 241,624,145.
Example:
1 x 241,624,145 = 241,624,145
and
-1 x -241,624,145 = 241,624,145
Notice both answers equal 241,624,145
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 241,624,145 and divide it by 2:
241,624,145 ÷ 2 = 120,812,072.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 120,812,072.5 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 | 241,624,145 | |
| -1 | -241,624,145 |
Now, we try dividing 241,624,145 by 3:
241,624,145 ÷ 3 = 80,541,381.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 80,541,381.6667 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 | 241,624,145 | |
| -1 | -241,624,145 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
241,624,145 ÷ 4 = 60,406,036.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 60,406,036.25 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 | 241,624,145 | |
| -1 | 241,624,145 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 35 | 49 | 85 | 119 | 245 | 595 | 833 | 4,165 | 58,013 | 290,065 | 406,091 | 986,221 | 2,030,455 | 2,842,637 | 4,931,105 | 6,903,547 | 14,213,185 | 34,517,735 | 48,324,829 | 241,624,145 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -35 | -49 | -85 | -119 | -245 | -595 | -833 | -4,165 | -58,013 | -290,065 | -406,091 | -986,221 | -2,030,455 | -2,842,637 | -4,931,105 | -6,903,547 | -14,213,185 | -34,517,735 | -48,324,829 | -241,624,145 |
