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 460,722,763, 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 | 460,722,763 | |
| -1 | -460,722,763 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 460,722,763.
Example:
1 x 460,722,763 = 460,722,763
and
-1 x -460,722,763 = 460,722,763
Notice both answers equal 460,722,763
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 460,722,763 and divide it by 2:
460,722,763 ÷ 2 = 230,361,381.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 230,361,381.5 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 | 460,722,763 | |
| -1 | -460,722,763 |
Now, we try dividing 460,722,763 by 3:
460,722,763 ÷ 3 = 153,574,254.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 153,574,254.3333 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 | 460,722,763 | |
| -1 | -460,722,763 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
460,722,763 ÷ 4 = 115,180,690.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 115,180,690.75 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 | 460,722,763 | |
| -1 | 460,722,763 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 71 | 419 | 911 | 1,207 | 7,123 | 15,487 | 29,749 | 64,681 | 381,709 | 505,733 | 1,099,577 | 6,489,053 | 27,101,339 | 460,722,763 |
| -1 | -17 | -71 | -419 | -911 | -1,207 | -7,123 | -15,487 | -29,749 | -64,681 | -381,709 | -505,733 | -1,099,577 | -6,489,053 | -27,101,339 | -460,722,763 |
