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 451,313,137, 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 | 451,313,137 | |
| -1 | -451,313,137 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 451,313,137.
Example:
1 x 451,313,137 = 451,313,137
and
-1 x -451,313,137 = 451,313,137
Notice both answers equal 451,313,137
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 451,313,137 and divide it by 2:
451,313,137 ÷ 2 = 225,656,568.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 225,656,568.5 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 | 451,313,137 | |
| -1 | -451,313,137 |
Now, we try dividing 451,313,137 by 3:
451,313,137 ÷ 3 = 150,437,712.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 150,437,712.3333 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 | 451,313,137 | |
| -1 | -451,313,137 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
451,313,137 ÷ 4 = 112,828,284.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 112,828,284.25 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 | 451,313,137 | |
| -1 | 451,313,137 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 209 | 601 | 3,593 | 6,611 | 11,419 | 39,523 | 68,267 | 125,609 | 750,937 | 2,159,393 | 23,753,323 | 41,028,467 | 451,313,137 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -209 | -601 | -3,593 | -6,611 | -11,419 | -39,523 | -68,267 | -125,609 | -750,937 | -2,159,393 | -23,753,323 | -41,028,467 | -451,313,137 |
