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 452,564,353, 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 | 452,564,353 | |
| -1 | -452,564,353 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 452,564,353.
Example:
1 x 452,564,353 = 452,564,353
and
-1 x -452,564,353 = 452,564,353
Notice both answers equal 452,564,353
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 452,564,353 and divide it by 2:
452,564,353 ÷ 2 = 226,282,176.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 226,282,176.5 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 | 452,564,353 | |
| -1 | -452,564,353 |
Now, we try dividing 452,564,353 by 3:
452,564,353 ÷ 3 = 150,854,784.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 150,854,784.3333 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 | 452,564,353 | |
| -1 | -452,564,353 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
452,564,353 ÷ 4 = 113,141,088.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 113,141,088.25 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 | 452,564,353 | |
| -1 | 452,564,353 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 37 | 541 | 851 | 983 | 12,443 | 20,017 | 22,609 | 36,371 | 460,391 | 531,803 | 836,533 | 12,231,469 | 19,676,711 | 452,564,353 |
| -1 | -23 | -37 | -541 | -851 | -983 | -12,443 | -20,017 | -22,609 | -36,371 | -460,391 | -531,803 | -836,533 | -12,231,469 | -19,676,711 | -452,564,353 |
