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 264,556,325, 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 | 264,556,325 | |
| -1 | -264,556,325 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 264,556,325.
Example:
1 x 264,556,325 = 264,556,325
and
-1 x -264,556,325 = 264,556,325
Notice both answers equal 264,556,325
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 264,556,325 and divide it by 2:
264,556,325 ÷ 2 = 132,278,162.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 132,278,162.5 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 | 264,556,325 | |
| -1 | -264,556,325 |
Now, we try dividing 264,556,325 by 3:
264,556,325 ÷ 3 = 88,185,441.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 88,185,441.6667 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 | 264,556,325 | |
| -1 | -264,556,325 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
264,556,325 ÷ 4 = 66,139,081.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 66,139,081.25 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 | 264,556,325 | |
| -1 | 264,556,325 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 31 | 55 | 155 | 275 | 341 | 775 | 1,705 | 8,525 | 31,033 | 155,165 | 341,363 | 775,825 | 962,023 | 1,706,815 | 4,810,115 | 8,534,075 | 10,582,253 | 24,050,575 | 52,911,265 | 264,556,325 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -31 | -55 | -155 | -275 | -341 | -775 | -1,705 | -8,525 | -31,033 | -155,165 | -341,363 | -775,825 | -962,023 | -1,706,815 | -4,810,115 | -8,534,075 | -10,582,253 | -24,050,575 | -52,911,265 | -264,556,325 |
