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 410,013,539, 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 | 410,013,539 | |
| -1 | -410,013,539 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 410,013,539.
Example:
1 x 410,013,539 = 410,013,539
and
-1 x -410,013,539 = 410,013,539
Notice both answers equal 410,013,539
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 410,013,539 and divide it by 2:
410,013,539 ÷ 2 = 205,006,769.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 205,006,769.5 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 | 410,013,539 | |
| -1 | -410,013,539 |
Now, we try dividing 410,013,539 by 3:
410,013,539 ÷ 3 = 136,671,179.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 136,671,179.6667 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 | 410,013,539 | |
| -1 | -410,013,539 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
410,013,539 ÷ 4 = 102,503,384.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 102,503,384.75 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 | 410,013,539 | |
| -1 | 410,013,539 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 37 | 197 | 481 | 2,561 | 4,327 | 7,289 | 56,251 | 94,757 | 160,099 | 852,419 | 2,081,287 | 11,081,447 | 31,539,503 | 410,013,539 |
| -1 | -13 | -37 | -197 | -481 | -2,561 | -4,327 | -7,289 | -56,251 | -94,757 | -160,099 | -852,419 | -2,081,287 | -11,081,447 | -31,539,503 | -410,013,539 |
