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 412,223,635, 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 | 412,223,635 | |
| -1 | -412,223,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 412,223,635.
Example:
1 x 412,223,635 = 412,223,635
and
-1 x -412,223,635 = 412,223,635
Notice both answers equal 412,223,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 412,223,635 and divide it by 2:
412,223,635 ÷ 2 = 206,111,817.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 206,111,817.5 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 | 412,223,635 | |
| -1 | -412,223,635 |
Now, we try dividing 412,223,635 by 3:
412,223,635 ÷ 3 = 137,407,878.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 137,407,878.3333 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 | 412,223,635 | |
| -1 | -412,223,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
412,223,635 ÷ 4 = 103,055,908.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 103,055,908.75 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 | 412,223,635 | |
| -1 | 412,223,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 41 | 167 | 205 | 835 | 6,847 | 12,041 | 34,235 | 60,205 | 493,681 | 2,010,847 | 2,468,405 | 10,054,235 | 82,444,727 | 412,223,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -41 | -167 | -205 | -835 | -6,847 | -12,041 | -34,235 | -60,205 | -493,681 | -2,010,847 | -2,468,405 | -10,054,235 | -82,444,727 | -412,223,635 |
