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 412,056,235, 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 | 412,056,235 | |
| -1 | -412,056,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 412,056,235.
Example:
1 x 412,056,235 = 412,056,235
and
-1 x -412,056,235 = 412,056,235
Notice both answers equal 412,056,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 412,056,235 and divide it by 2:
412,056,235 ÷ 2 = 206,028,117.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 206,028,117.5 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 | 412,056,235 | |
| -1 | -412,056,235 |
Now, we try dividing 412,056,235 by 3:
412,056,235 ÷ 3 = 137,352,078.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 137,352,078.3333 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 | 412,056,235 | |
| -1 | -412,056,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
412,056,235 ÷ 4 = 103,014,058.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 103,014,058.75 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 | 412,056,235 | |
| -1 | 412,056,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 185 | 1,193 | 1,867 | 5,965 | 9,335 | 44,141 | 69,079 | 220,705 | 345,395 | 2,227,331 | 11,136,655 | 82,411,247 | 412,056,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -185 | -1,193 | -1,867 | -5,965 | -9,335 | -44,141 | -69,079 | -220,705 | -345,395 | -2,227,331 | -11,136,655 | -82,411,247 | -412,056,235 |
