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 435,424,055, 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 | 435,424,055 | |
| -1 | -435,424,055 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 435,424,055.
Example:
1 x 435,424,055 = 435,424,055
and
-1 x -435,424,055 = 435,424,055
Notice both answers equal 435,424,055
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 435,424,055 and divide it by 2:
435,424,055 ÷ 2 = 217,712,027.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 217,712,027.5 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 | 435,424,055 | |
| -1 | -435,424,055 |
Now, we try dividing 435,424,055 by 3:
435,424,055 ÷ 3 = 145,141,351.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 145,141,351.6667 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 | 435,424,055 | |
| -1 | -435,424,055 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
435,424,055 ÷ 4 = 108,856,013.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 108,856,013.75 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 | 435,424,055 | |
| -1 | 435,424,055 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 1,531 | 5,171 | 7,655 | 16,841 | 25,855 | 56,881 | 84,205 | 284,405 | 7,916,801 | 39,584,005 | 87,084,811 | 435,424,055 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -1,531 | -5,171 | -7,655 | -16,841 | -25,855 | -56,881 | -84,205 | -284,405 | -7,916,801 | -39,584,005 | -87,084,811 | -435,424,055 |
