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 220,246,301, 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 | 220,246,301 | |
| -1 | -220,246,301 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 220,246,301.
Example:
1 x 220,246,301 = 220,246,301
and
-1 x -220,246,301 = 220,246,301
Notice both answers equal 220,246,301
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 220,246,301 and divide it by 2:
220,246,301 ÷ 2 = 110,123,150.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 110,123,150.5 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 | 220,246,301 | |
| -1 | -220,246,301 |
Now, we try dividing 220,246,301 by 3:
220,246,301 ÷ 3 = 73,415,433.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 73,415,433.6667 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 | 220,246,301 | |
| -1 | -220,246,301 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
220,246,301 ÷ 4 = 55,061,575.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 55,061,575.25 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 | 220,246,301 | |
| -1 | 220,246,301 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 41 | 43 | 277 | 451 | 473 | 1,681 | 1,763 | 3,047 | 11,357 | 11,911 | 18,491 | 19,393 | 72,283 | 124,927 | 131,021 | 465,637 | 488,351 | 795,113 | 5,122,007 | 5,371,861 | 20,022,391 | 220,246,301 |
| -1 | -11 | -41 | -43 | -277 | -451 | -473 | -1,681 | -1,763 | -3,047 | -11,357 | -11,911 | -18,491 | -19,393 | -72,283 | -124,927 | -131,021 | -465,637 | -488,351 | -795,113 | -5,122,007 | -5,371,861 | -20,022,391 | -220,246,301 |
