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 435,452,777, 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 | 435,452,777 | |
| -1 | -435,452,777 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 435,452,777.
Example:
1 x 435,452,777 = 435,452,777
and
-1 x -435,452,777 = 435,452,777
Notice both answers equal 435,452,777
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 435,452,777 and divide it by 2:
435,452,777 ÷ 2 = 217,726,388.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 217,726,388.5 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 | 435,452,777 | |
| -1 | -435,452,777 |
Now, we try dividing 435,452,777 by 3:
435,452,777 ÷ 3 = 145,150,925.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 145,150,925.6667 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 | 435,452,777 | |
| -1 | -435,452,777 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
435,452,777 ÷ 4 = 108,863,194.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 108,863,194.25 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 | 435,452,777 | |
| -1 | 435,452,777 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 83 | 131 | 1,381 | 2,407 | 3,799 | 10,873 | 40,049 | 114,623 | 180,911 | 315,317 | 3,324,067 | 5,246,419 | 15,015,613 | 435,452,777 |
| -1 | -29 | -83 | -131 | -1,381 | -2,407 | -3,799 | -10,873 | -40,049 | -114,623 | -180,911 | -315,317 | -3,324,067 | -5,246,419 | -15,015,613 | -435,452,777 |
