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 450,531,103, 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 | 450,531,103 | |
| -1 | -450,531,103 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 450,531,103.
Example:
1 x 450,531,103 = 450,531,103
and
-1 x -450,531,103 = 450,531,103
Notice both answers equal 450,531,103
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 450,531,103 and divide it by 2:
450,531,103 ÷ 2 = 225,265,551.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 225,265,551.5 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 | 450,531,103 | |
| -1 | -450,531,103 |
Now, we try dividing 450,531,103 by 3:
450,531,103 ÷ 3 = 150,177,034.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 150,177,034.3333 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 | 450,531,103 | |
| -1 | -450,531,103 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
450,531,103 ÷ 4 = 112,632,775.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 112,632,775.75 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 | 450,531,103 | |
| -1 | 450,531,103 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 127 | 521 | 619 | 1,397 | 5,731 | 6,809 | 66,167 | 78,613 | 322,499 | 727,837 | 864,743 | 3,547,489 | 40,957,373 | 450,531,103 |
| -1 | -11 | -127 | -521 | -619 | -1,397 | -5,731 | -6,809 | -66,167 | -78,613 | -322,499 | -727,837 | -864,743 | -3,547,489 | -40,957,373 | -450,531,103 |
