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 442,564,735, 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 | 442,564,735 | |
| -1 | -442,564,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 442,564,735.
Example:
1 x 442,564,735 = 442,564,735
and
-1 x -442,564,735 = 442,564,735
Notice both answers equal 442,564,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 442,564,735 and divide it by 2:
442,564,735 ÷ 2 = 221,282,367.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 221,282,367.5 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 | 442,564,735 | |
| -1 | -442,564,735 |
Now, we try dividing 442,564,735 by 3:
442,564,735 ÷ 3 = 147,521,578.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 147,521,578.3333 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 | 442,564,735 | |
| -1 | -442,564,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
442,564,735 ÷ 4 = 110,641,183.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 110,641,183.75 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 | 442,564,735 | |
| -1 | 442,564,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 103 | 115 | 515 | 2,369 | 11,845 | 37,363 | 186,815 | 859,349 | 3,848,389 | 4,296,745 | 19,241,945 | 88,512,947 | 442,564,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -103 | -115 | -515 | -2,369 | -11,845 | -37,363 | -186,815 | -859,349 | -3,848,389 | -4,296,745 | -19,241,945 | -88,512,947 | -442,564,735 |
