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 454,202,155, 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 | 454,202,155 | |
| -1 | -454,202,155 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 454,202,155.
Example:
1 x 454,202,155 = 454,202,155
and
-1 x -454,202,155 = 454,202,155
Notice both answers equal 454,202,155
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 454,202,155 and divide it by 2:
454,202,155 ÷ 2 = 227,101,077.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 227,101,077.5 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 | 454,202,155 | |
| -1 | -454,202,155 |
Now, we try dividing 454,202,155 by 3:
454,202,155 ÷ 3 = 151,400,718.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 151,400,718.3333 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 | 454,202,155 | |
| -1 | -454,202,155 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
454,202,155 ÷ 4 = 113,550,538.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 113,550,538.75 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 | 454,202,155 | |
| -1 | 454,202,155 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 89 | 445 | 979 | 4,895 | 92,789 | 463,945 | 1,020,679 | 5,103,395 | 8,258,221 | 41,291,105 | 90,840,431 | 454,202,155 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -89 | -445 | -979 | -4,895 | -92,789 | -463,945 | -1,020,679 | -5,103,395 | -8,258,221 | -41,291,105 | -90,840,431 | -454,202,155 |
