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 401,353,225, 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 | 401,353,225 | |
| -1 | -401,353,225 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 401,353,225.
Example:
1 x 401,353,225 = 401,353,225
and
-1 x -401,353,225 = 401,353,225
Notice both answers equal 401,353,225
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 401,353,225 and divide it by 2:
401,353,225 ÷ 2 = 200,676,612.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 200,676,612.5 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 | 401,353,225 | |
| -1 | -401,353,225 |
Now, we try dividing 401,353,225 by 3:
401,353,225 ÷ 3 = 133,784,408.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 133,784,408.3333 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 | 401,353,225 | |
| -1 | -401,353,225 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
401,353,225 ÷ 4 = 100,338,306.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 100,338,306.25 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 | 401,353,225 | |
| -1 | 401,353,225 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 13 | 25 | 35 | 65 | 91 | 175 | 325 | 455 | 2,275 | 176,419 | 882,095 | 1,234,933 | 2,293,447 | 4,410,475 | 6,174,665 | 11,467,235 | 16,054,129 | 30,873,325 | 57,336,175 | 80,270,645 | 401,353,225 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -13 | -25 | -35 | -65 | -91 | -175 | -325 | -455 | -2,275 | -176,419 | -882,095 | -1,234,933 | -2,293,447 | -4,410,475 | -6,174,665 | -11,467,235 | -16,054,129 | -30,873,325 | -57,336,175 | -80,270,645 | -401,353,225 |
