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 413,241,355, 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 | 413,241,355 | |
| -1 | -413,241,355 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 413,241,355.
Example:
1 x 413,241,355 = 413,241,355
and
-1 x -413,241,355 = 413,241,355
Notice both answers equal 413,241,355
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 413,241,355 and divide it by 2:
413,241,355 ÷ 2 = 206,620,677.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 206,620,677.5 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 | 413,241,355 | |
| -1 | -413,241,355 |
Now, we try dividing 413,241,355 by 3:
413,241,355 ÷ 3 = 137,747,118.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 137,747,118.3333 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 | 413,241,355 | |
| -1 | -413,241,355 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
413,241,355 ÷ 4 = 103,310,338.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 103,310,338.75 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 | 413,241,355 | |
| -1 | 413,241,355 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 19 | 85 | 95 | 323 | 1,615 | 255,877 | 1,279,385 | 4,349,909 | 4,861,663 | 21,749,545 | 24,308,315 | 82,648,271 | 413,241,355 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -19 | -85 | -95 | -323 | -1,615 | -255,877 | -1,279,385 | -4,349,909 | -4,861,663 | -21,749,545 | -24,308,315 | -82,648,271 | -413,241,355 |
