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 425,253,115, 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 | 425,253,115 | |
| -1 | -425,253,115 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 425,253,115.
Example:
1 x 425,253,115 = 425,253,115
and
-1 x -425,253,115 = 425,253,115
Notice both answers equal 425,253,115
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 425,253,115 and divide it by 2:
425,253,115 ÷ 2 = 212,626,557.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 212,626,557.5 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 | 425,253,115 | |
| -1 | -425,253,115 |
Now, we try dividing 425,253,115 by 3:
425,253,115 ÷ 3 = 141,751,038.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 141,751,038.3333 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 | 425,253,115 | |
| -1 | -425,253,115 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
425,253,115 ÷ 4 = 106,313,278.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 106,313,278.75 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 | 425,253,115 | |
| -1 | 425,253,115 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 49 | 245 | 343 | 1,715 | 2,401 | 12,005 | 35,423 | 177,115 | 247,961 | 1,239,805 | 1,735,727 | 8,678,635 | 12,150,089 | 60,750,445 | 85,050,623 | 425,253,115 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -49 | -245 | -343 | -1,715 | -2,401 | -12,005 | -35,423 | -177,115 | -247,961 | -1,239,805 | -1,735,727 | -8,678,635 | -12,150,089 | -60,750,445 | -85,050,623 | -425,253,115 |
