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 411,037,601, 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 | 411,037,601 | |
| -1 | -411,037,601 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 411,037,601.
Example:
1 x 411,037,601 = 411,037,601
and
-1 x -411,037,601 = 411,037,601
Notice both answers equal 411,037,601
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 411,037,601 and divide it by 2:
411,037,601 ÷ 2 = 205,518,800.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 205,518,800.5 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 | 411,037,601 | |
| -1 | -411,037,601 |
Now, we try dividing 411,037,601 by 3:
411,037,601 ÷ 3 = 137,012,533.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 137,012,533.6667 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 | 411,037,601 | |
| -1 | -411,037,601 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
411,037,601 ÷ 4 = 102,759,400.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 102,759,400.25 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 | 411,037,601 | |
| -1 | 411,037,601 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 59 | 167 | 767 | 2,171 | 3,209 | 9,853 | 41,717 | 128,089 | 189,331 | 535,903 | 2,461,303 | 6,966,739 | 31,618,277 | 411,037,601 |
| -1 | -13 | -59 | -167 | -767 | -2,171 | -3,209 | -9,853 | -41,717 | -128,089 | -189,331 | -535,903 | -2,461,303 | -6,966,739 | -31,618,277 | -411,037,601 |
