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 453,125,531, 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 | 453,125,531 | |
| -1 | -453,125,531 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 453,125,531.
Example:
1 x 453,125,531 = 453,125,531
and
-1 x -453,125,531 = 453,125,531
Notice both answers equal 453,125,531
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 453,125,531 and divide it by 2:
453,125,531 ÷ 2 = 226,562,765.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 226,562,765.5 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 | 453,125,531 | |
| -1 | -453,125,531 |
Now, we try dividing 453,125,531 by 3:
453,125,531 ÷ 3 = 151,041,843.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 151,041,843.6667 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 | 453,125,531 | |
| -1 | -453,125,531 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
453,125,531 ÷ 4 = 113,281,382.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 113,281,382.75 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 | 453,125,531 | |
| -1 | 453,125,531 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 103 | 251 | 1,031 | 1,751 | 4,267 | 17,527 | 25,853 | 106,193 | 258,781 | 439,501 | 1,805,281 | 4,399,277 | 26,654,443 | 453,125,531 |
| -1 | -17 | -103 | -251 | -1,031 | -1,751 | -4,267 | -17,527 | -25,853 | -106,193 | -258,781 | -439,501 | -1,805,281 | -4,399,277 | -26,654,443 | -453,125,531 |
