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 244,420,025, 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 | 244,420,025 | |
| -1 | -244,420,025 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 244,420,025.
Example:
1 x 244,420,025 = 244,420,025
and
-1 x -244,420,025 = 244,420,025
Notice both answers equal 244,420,025
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 244,420,025 and divide it by 2:
244,420,025 ÷ 2 = 122,210,012.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 122,210,012.5 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 | 244,420,025 | |
| -1 | -244,420,025 |
Now, we try dividing 244,420,025 by 3:
244,420,025 ÷ 3 = 81,473,341.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 81,473,341.6667 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 | 244,420,025 | |
| -1 | -244,420,025 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
244,420,025 ÷ 4 = 61,105,006.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 61,105,006.25 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 | 244,420,025 | |
| -1 | 244,420,025 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 179 | 193 | 283 | 895 | 965 | 1,415 | 4,475 | 4,825 | 7,075 | 34,547 | 50,657 | 54,619 | 172,735 | 253,285 | 273,095 | 863,675 | 1,266,425 | 1,365,475 | 9,776,801 | 48,884,005 | 244,420,025 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -179 | -193 | -283 | -895 | -965 | -1,415 | -4,475 | -4,825 | -7,075 | -34,547 | -50,657 | -54,619 | -172,735 | -253,285 | -273,095 | -863,675 | -1,266,425 | -1,365,475 | -9,776,801 | -48,884,005 | -244,420,025 |
