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 460,748,005, 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 | 460,748,005 | |
| -1 | -460,748,005 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 460,748,005.
Example:
1 x 460,748,005 = 460,748,005
and
-1 x -460,748,005 = 460,748,005
Notice both answers equal 460,748,005
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 460,748,005 and divide it by 2:
460,748,005 ÷ 2 = 230,374,002.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 230,374,002.5 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 | 460,748,005 | |
| -1 | -460,748,005 |
Now, we try dividing 460,748,005 by 3:
460,748,005 ÷ 3 = 153,582,668.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 153,582,668.3333 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 | 460,748,005 | |
| -1 | -460,748,005 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
460,748,005 ÷ 4 = 115,187,001.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 115,187,001.25 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 | 460,748,005 | |
| -1 | 460,748,005 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 1,789 | 2,711 | 8,945 | 13,555 | 33,991 | 51,509 | 169,955 | 257,545 | 4,849,979 | 24,249,895 | 92,149,601 | 460,748,005 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -1,789 | -2,711 | -8,945 | -13,555 | -33,991 | -51,509 | -169,955 | -257,545 | -4,849,979 | -24,249,895 | -92,149,601 | -460,748,005 |
