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 244,056,025, 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 | 244,056,025 | |
| -1 | -244,056,025 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 244,056,025.
Example:
1 x 244,056,025 = 244,056,025
and
-1 x -244,056,025 = 244,056,025
Notice both answers equal 244,056,025
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 244,056,025 and divide it by 2:
244,056,025 ÷ 2 = 122,028,012.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 122,028,012.5 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 | 244,056,025 | |
| -1 | -244,056,025 |
Now, we try dividing 244,056,025 by 3:
244,056,025 ÷ 3 = 81,352,008.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 81,352,008.3333 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 | 244,056,025 | |
| -1 | -244,056,025 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
244,056,025 ÷ 4 = 61,014,006.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 61,014,006.25 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 | 244,056,025 | |
| -1 | 244,056,025 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 29 | 31 | 145 | 155 | 725 | 775 | 899 | 4,495 | 10,859 | 22,475 | 54,295 | 271,475 | 314,911 | 336,629 | 1,574,555 | 1,683,145 | 7,872,775 | 8,415,725 | 9,762,241 | 48,811,205 | 244,056,025 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -29 | -31 | -145 | -155 | -725 | -775 | -899 | -4,495 | -10,859 | -22,475 | -54,295 | -271,475 | -314,911 | -336,629 | -1,574,555 | -1,683,145 | -7,872,775 | -8,415,725 | -9,762,241 | -48,811,205 | -244,056,025 |
