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 455,532,035, 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 | 455,532,035 | |
| -1 | -455,532,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 455,532,035.
Example:
1 x 455,532,035 = 455,532,035
and
-1 x -455,532,035 = 455,532,035
Notice both answers equal 455,532,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 455,532,035 and divide it by 2:
455,532,035 ÷ 2 = 227,766,017.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 227,766,017.5 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 | 455,532,035 | |
| -1 | -455,532,035 |
Now, we try dividing 455,532,035 by 3:
455,532,035 ÷ 3 = 151,844,011.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 151,844,011.6667 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 | 455,532,035 | |
| -1 | -455,532,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
455,532,035 ÷ 4 = 113,883,008.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 113,883,008.75 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 | 455,532,035 | |
| -1 | 455,532,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 1,609 | 8,045 | 8,089 | 11,263 | 40,445 | 56,315 | 56,623 | 283,115 | 13,015,201 | 65,076,005 | 91,106,407 | 455,532,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -1,609 | -8,045 | -8,089 | -11,263 | -40,445 | -56,315 | -56,623 | -283,115 | -13,015,201 | -65,076,005 | -91,106,407 | -455,532,035 |
