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 450,622,613, 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 | 450,622,613 | |
| -1 | -450,622,613 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 450,622,613.
Example:
1 x 450,622,613 = 450,622,613
and
-1 x -450,622,613 = 450,622,613
Notice both answers equal 450,622,613
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 450,622,613 and divide it by 2:
450,622,613 ÷ 2 = 225,311,306.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 225,311,306.5 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 | 450,622,613 | |
| -1 | -450,622,613 |
Now, we try dividing 450,622,613 by 3:
450,622,613 ÷ 3 = 150,207,537.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 150,207,537.6667 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 | 450,622,613 | |
| -1 | -450,622,613 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
450,622,613 ÷ 4 = 112,655,653.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 112,655,653.25 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 | 450,622,613 | |
| -1 | 450,622,613 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 167 | 269 | 1,169 | 1,433 | 1,883 | 10,031 | 44,923 | 239,311 | 314,461 | 385,477 | 1,675,177 | 2,698,339 | 64,374,659 | 450,622,613 |
| -1 | -7 | -167 | -269 | -1,169 | -1,433 | -1,883 | -10,031 | -44,923 | -239,311 | -314,461 | -385,477 | -1,675,177 | -2,698,339 | -64,374,659 | -450,622,613 |
