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 452,001,407, 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 | 452,001,407 | |
| -1 | -452,001,407 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 452,001,407.
Example:
1 x 452,001,407 = 452,001,407
and
-1 x -452,001,407 = 452,001,407
Notice both answers equal 452,001,407
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 452,001,407 and divide it by 2:
452,001,407 ÷ 2 = 226,000,703.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 226,000,703.5 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 | 452,001,407 | |
| -1 | -452,001,407 |
Now, we try dividing 452,001,407 by 3:
452,001,407 ÷ 3 = 150,667,135.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 150,667,135.6667 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 | 452,001,407 | |
| -1 | -452,001,407 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
452,001,407 ÷ 4 = 113,000,351.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 113,000,351.75 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 | 452,001,407 | |
| -1 | 452,001,407 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 71 | 143 | 781 | 923 | 10,153 | 44,519 | 489,709 | 578,747 | 3,160,849 | 6,366,217 | 34,769,339 | 41,091,037 | 452,001,407 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -71 | -143 | -781 | -923 | -10,153 | -44,519 | -489,709 | -578,747 | -3,160,849 | -6,366,217 | -34,769,339 | -41,091,037 | -452,001,407 |
