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 453,234,635, 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 | 453,234,635 | |
| -1 | -453,234,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 453,234,635.
Example:
1 x 453,234,635 = 453,234,635
and
-1 x -453,234,635 = 453,234,635
Notice both answers equal 453,234,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 453,234,635 and divide it by 2:
453,234,635 ÷ 2 = 226,617,317.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 226,617,317.5 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 | 453,234,635 | |
| -1 | -453,234,635 |
Now, we try dividing 453,234,635 by 3:
453,234,635 ÷ 3 = 151,078,211.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 151,078,211.6667 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 | 453,234,635 | |
| -1 | -453,234,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
453,234,635 ÷ 4 = 113,308,658.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 113,308,658.75 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 | 453,234,635 | |
| -1 | 453,234,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 1,439 | 7,195 | 8,999 | 10,073 | 44,995 | 50,365 | 62,993 | 314,965 | 12,949,561 | 64,747,805 | 90,646,927 | 453,234,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -1,439 | -7,195 | -8,999 | -10,073 | -44,995 | -50,365 | -62,993 | -314,965 | -12,949,561 | -64,747,805 | -90,646,927 | -453,234,635 |
