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 425,652,055, 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 | 425,652,055 | |
| -1 | -425,652,055 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 425,652,055.
Example:
1 x 425,652,055 = 425,652,055
and
-1 x -425,652,055 = 425,652,055
Notice both answers equal 425,652,055
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 425,652,055 and divide it by 2:
425,652,055 ÷ 2 = 212,826,027.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 212,826,027.5 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 | 425,652,055 | |
| -1 | -425,652,055 |
Now, we try dividing 425,652,055 by 3:
425,652,055 ÷ 3 = 141,884,018.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 141,884,018.3333 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 | 425,652,055 | |
| -1 | -425,652,055 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
425,652,055 ÷ 4 = 106,413,013.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 106,413,013.75 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 | 425,652,055 | |
| -1 | 425,652,055 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 43 | 139 | 215 | 695 | 5,977 | 14,243 | 29,885 | 71,215 | 612,449 | 1,979,777 | 3,062,245 | 9,898,885 | 85,130,411 | 425,652,055 |
| -1 | -5 | -43 | -139 | -215 | -695 | -5,977 | -14,243 | -29,885 | -71,215 | -612,449 | -1,979,777 | -3,062,245 | -9,898,885 | -85,130,411 | -425,652,055 |
