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 411,402,215, 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 | 411,402,215 | |
| -1 | -411,402,215 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 411,402,215.
Example:
1 x 411,402,215 = 411,402,215
and
-1 x -411,402,215 = 411,402,215
Notice both answers equal 411,402,215
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 411,402,215 and divide it by 2:
411,402,215 ÷ 2 = 205,701,107.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 205,701,107.5 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 | 411,402,215 | |
| -1 | -411,402,215 |
Now, we try dividing 411,402,215 by 3:
411,402,215 ÷ 3 = 137,134,071.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 137,134,071.6667 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 | 411,402,215 | |
| -1 | -411,402,215 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
411,402,215 ÷ 4 = 102,850,553.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 102,850,553.75 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 | 411,402,215 | |
| -1 | 411,402,215 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 373 | 1,865 | 2,611 | 13,055 | 31,513 | 157,565 | 220,591 | 1,102,955 | 11,754,349 | 58,771,745 | 82,280,443 | 411,402,215 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -373 | -1,865 | -2,611 | -13,055 | -31,513 | -157,565 | -220,591 | -1,102,955 | -11,754,349 | -58,771,745 | -82,280,443 | -411,402,215 |
