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 457,713,035, 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 | 457,713,035 | |
| -1 | -457,713,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 457,713,035.
Example:
1 x 457,713,035 = 457,713,035
and
-1 x -457,713,035 = 457,713,035
Notice both answers equal 457,713,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 457,713,035 and divide it by 2:
457,713,035 ÷ 2 = 228,856,517.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 228,856,517.5 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 | 457,713,035 | |
| -1 | -457,713,035 |
Now, we try dividing 457,713,035 by 3:
457,713,035 ÷ 3 = 152,571,011.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 152,571,011.6667 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 | 457,713,035 | |
| -1 | -457,713,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
457,713,035 ÷ 4 = 114,428,258.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 114,428,258.75 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 | 457,713,035 | |
| -1 | 457,713,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 53 | 65 | 265 | 689 | 3,445 | 132,863 | 664,315 | 1,727,219 | 7,041,739 | 8,636,095 | 35,208,695 | 91,542,607 | 457,713,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -53 | -65 | -265 | -689 | -3,445 | -132,863 | -664,315 | -1,727,219 | -7,041,739 | -8,636,095 | -35,208,695 | -91,542,607 | -457,713,035 |
