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 451,151,664, 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 | 451,151,664 | |
| -1 | -451,151,664 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 451,151,664.
Example:
1 x 451,151,664 = 451,151,664
and
-1 x -451,151,664 = 451,151,664
Notice both answers equal 451,151,664
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 451,151,664 and divide it by 2:
451,151,664 ÷ 2 = 225,575,832
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 225,575,832 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 2 | 225,575,832 | 451,151,664 | |
| -1 | -2 | -225,575,832 | -451,151,664 |
Now, we try dividing 451,151,664 by 3:
451,151,664 ÷ 3 = 150,383,888
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 150,383,888 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 150,383,888 | 225,575,832 | 451,151,664 | |
| -1 | -2 | -3 | -150,383,888 | -225,575,832 | -451,151,664 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
451,151,664 ÷ 4 = 112,787,916
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 112,787,916 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 112,787,916 | 150,383,888 | 225,575,832 | 451,151,664 | |
| -1 | -2 | -3 | -4 | -112,787,916 | -150,383,888 | -225,575,832 | 451,151,664 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 12 | 16 | 24 | 48 | 9,398,993 | 18,797,986 | 28,196,979 | 37,595,972 | 56,393,958 | 75,191,944 | 112,787,916 | 150,383,888 | 225,575,832 | 451,151,664 |
| -1 | -2 | -3 | -4 | -6 | -8 | -12 | -16 | -24 | -48 | -9,398,993 | -18,797,986 | -28,196,979 | -37,595,972 | -56,393,958 | -75,191,944 | -112,787,916 | -150,383,888 | -225,575,832 | -451,151,664 |
