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 436,030,501, 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 | 436,030,501 | |
| -1 | -436,030,501 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 436,030,501.
Example:
1 x 436,030,501 = 436,030,501
and
-1 x -436,030,501 = 436,030,501
Notice both answers equal 436,030,501
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 436,030,501 and divide it by 2:
436,030,501 ÷ 2 = 218,015,250.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 218,015,250.5 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 | 436,030,501 | |
| -1 | -436,030,501 |
Now, we try dividing 436,030,501 by 3:
436,030,501 ÷ 3 = 145,343,500.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 145,343,500.3333 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 | 436,030,501 | |
| -1 | -436,030,501 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
436,030,501 ÷ 4 = 109,007,625.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 109,007,625.25 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 | 436,030,501 | |
| -1 | 436,030,501 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 61 | 113 | 1,037 | 1,921 | 3,721 | 6,893 | 63,257 | 117,181 | 226,981 | 420,473 | 3,858,677 | 7,148,041 | 25,648,853 | 436,030,501 |
| -1 | -17 | -61 | -113 | -1,037 | -1,921 | -3,721 | -6,893 | -63,257 | -117,181 | -226,981 | -420,473 | -3,858,677 | -7,148,041 | -25,648,853 | -436,030,501 |
