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 435,321,529, 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 | 435,321,529 | |
| -1 | -435,321,529 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 435,321,529.
Example:
1 x 435,321,529 = 435,321,529
and
-1 x -435,321,529 = 435,321,529
Notice both answers equal 435,321,529
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 435,321,529 and divide it by 2:
435,321,529 ÷ 2 = 217,660,764.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 217,660,764.5 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 | 435,321,529 | |
| -1 | -435,321,529 |
Now, we try dividing 435,321,529 by 3:
435,321,529 ÷ 3 = 145,107,176.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 145,107,176.3333 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 | 435,321,529 | |
| -1 | -435,321,529 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
435,321,529 ÷ 4 = 108,830,382.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 108,830,382.25 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 | 435,321,529 | |
| -1 | 435,321,529 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 59 | 149 | 1,357 | 2,153 | 3,427 | 8,791 | 49,519 | 127,027 | 202,193 | 320,797 | 2,921,621 | 7,378,331 | 18,927,023 | 435,321,529 |
| -1 | -23 | -59 | -149 | -1,357 | -2,153 | -3,427 | -8,791 | -49,519 | -127,027 | -202,193 | -320,797 | -2,921,621 | -7,378,331 | -18,927,023 | -435,321,529 |
