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 452,223,005, 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 | 452,223,005 | |
| -1 | -452,223,005 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 452,223,005.
Example:
1 x 452,223,005 = 452,223,005
and
-1 x -452,223,005 = 452,223,005
Notice both answers equal 452,223,005
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 452,223,005 and divide it by 2:
452,223,005 ÷ 2 = 226,111,502.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 226,111,502.5 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 | 452,223,005 | |
| -1 | -452,223,005 |
Now, we try dividing 452,223,005 by 3:
452,223,005 ÷ 3 = 150,741,001.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 150,741,001.6667 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 | 452,223,005 | |
| -1 | -452,223,005 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
452,223,005 ÷ 4 = 113,055,751.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 113,055,751.25 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 | 452,223,005 | |
| -1 | 452,223,005 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 353 | 1,765 | 4,589 | 19,709 | 22,945 | 98,545 | 256,217 | 1,281,085 | 6,957,277 | 34,786,385 | 90,444,601 | 452,223,005 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -353 | -1,765 | -4,589 | -19,709 | -22,945 | -98,545 | -256,217 | -1,281,085 | -6,957,277 | -34,786,385 | -90,444,601 | -452,223,005 |
