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 460,723,835, 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 | 460,723,835 | |
| -1 | -460,723,835 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 460,723,835.
Example:
1 x 460,723,835 = 460,723,835
and
-1 x -460,723,835 = 460,723,835
Notice both answers equal 460,723,835
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 460,723,835 and divide it by 2:
460,723,835 ÷ 2 = 230,361,917.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 230,361,917.5 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 | 460,723,835 | |
| -1 | -460,723,835 |
Now, we try dividing 460,723,835 by 3:
460,723,835 ÷ 3 = 153,574,611.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 153,574,611.6667 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 | 460,723,835 | |
| -1 | -460,723,835 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
460,723,835 ÷ 4 = 115,180,958.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 115,180,958.75 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 | 460,723,835 | |
| -1 | 460,723,835 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 13 | 55 | 65 | 121 | 143 | 605 | 715 | 1,573 | 7,865 | 58,579 | 292,895 | 644,369 | 761,527 | 3,221,845 | 3,807,635 | 7,088,059 | 8,376,797 | 35,440,295 | 41,883,985 | 92,144,767 | 460,723,835 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -13 | -55 | -65 | -121 | -143 | -605 | -715 | -1,573 | -7,865 | -58,579 | -292,895 | -644,369 | -761,527 | -3,221,845 | -3,807,635 | -7,088,059 | -8,376,797 | -35,440,295 | -41,883,985 | -92,144,767 | -460,723,835 |
