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 452,223,545, 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 | 452,223,545 | |
| -1 | -452,223,545 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 452,223,545.
Example:
1 x 452,223,545 = 452,223,545
and
-1 x -452,223,545 = 452,223,545
Notice both answers equal 452,223,545
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 452,223,545 and divide it by 2:
452,223,545 ÷ 2 = 226,111,772.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 226,111,772.5 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 | 452,223,545 | |
| -1 | -452,223,545 |
Now, we try dividing 452,223,545 by 3:
452,223,545 ÷ 3 = 150,741,181.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 150,741,181.6667 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 | 452,223,545 | |
| -1 | -452,223,545 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
452,223,545 ÷ 4 = 113,055,886.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 113,055,886.25 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 | 452,223,545 | |
| -1 | 452,223,545 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 311 | 1,555 | 5,287 | 17,107 | 26,435 | 85,535 | 290,819 | 1,454,095 | 5,320,277 | 26,601,385 | 90,444,709 | 452,223,545 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -311 | -1,555 | -5,287 | -17,107 | -26,435 | -85,535 | -290,819 | -1,454,095 | -5,320,277 | -26,601,385 | -90,444,709 | -452,223,545 |
