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 296,451,025, 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 | 296,451,025 | |
| -1 | -296,451,025 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 296,451,025.
Example:
1 x 296,451,025 = 296,451,025
and
-1 x -296,451,025 = 296,451,025
Notice both answers equal 296,451,025
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 296,451,025 and divide it by 2:
296,451,025 ÷ 2 = 148,225,512.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 148,225,512.5 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 | 296,451,025 | |
| -1 | -296,451,025 |
Now, we try dividing 296,451,025 by 3:
296,451,025 ÷ 3 = 98,817,008.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 98,817,008.3333 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 | 296,451,025 | |
| -1 | -296,451,025 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
296,451,025 ÷ 4 = 74,112,756.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 74,112,756.25 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 | 296,451,025 | |
| -1 | 296,451,025 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 23 | 25 | 65 | 115 | 299 | 325 | 575 | 1,495 | 7,475 | 39,659 | 198,295 | 515,567 | 912,157 | 991,475 | 2,577,835 | 4,560,785 | 11,858,041 | 12,889,175 | 22,803,925 | 59,290,205 | 296,451,025 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -23 | -25 | -65 | -115 | -299 | -325 | -575 | -1,495 | -7,475 | -39,659 | -198,295 | -515,567 | -912,157 | -991,475 | -2,577,835 | -4,560,785 | -11,858,041 | -12,889,175 | -22,803,925 | -59,290,205 | -296,451,025 |
