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 452,602,211, 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 | 452,602,211 | |
| -1 | -452,602,211 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 452,602,211.
Example:
1 x 452,602,211 = 452,602,211
and
-1 x -452,602,211 = 452,602,211
Notice both answers equal 452,602,211
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 452,602,211 and divide it by 2:
452,602,211 ÷ 2 = 226,301,105.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 226,301,105.5 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 | 452,602,211 | |
| -1 | -452,602,211 |
Now, we try dividing 452,602,211 by 3:
452,602,211 ÷ 3 = 150,867,403.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 150,867,403.6667 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 | 452,602,211 | |
| -1 | -452,602,211 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
452,602,211 ÷ 4 = 113,150,552.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 113,150,552.75 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 | 452,602,211 | |
| -1 | 452,602,211 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 23 | 277 | 437 | 3,739 | 5,263 | 6,371 | 71,041 | 85,997 | 121,049 | 1,035,703 | 1,633,943 | 19,678,357 | 23,821,169 | 452,602,211 |
| -1 | -19 | -23 | -277 | -437 | -3,739 | -5,263 | -6,371 | -71,041 | -85,997 | -121,049 | -1,035,703 | -1,633,943 | -19,678,357 | -23,821,169 | -452,602,211 |
