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 462,630,553, 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 | 462,630,553 | |
| -1 | -462,630,553 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 462,630,553.
Example:
1 x 462,630,553 = 462,630,553
and
-1 x -462,630,553 = 462,630,553
Notice both answers equal 462,630,553
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 462,630,553 and divide it by 2:
462,630,553 ÷ 2 = 231,315,276.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 231,315,276.5 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 | 462,630,553 | |
| -1 | -462,630,553 |
Now, we try dividing 462,630,553 by 3:
462,630,553 ÷ 3 = 154,210,184.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 154,210,184.3333 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 | 462,630,553 | |
| -1 | -462,630,553 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
462,630,553 ÷ 4 = 115,657,638.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 115,657,638.25 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 | 462,630,553 | |
| -1 | 462,630,553 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 109 | 121 | 763 | 847 | 1,199 | 5,011 | 8,393 | 13,189 | 35,077 | 55,121 | 92,323 | 385,847 | 546,199 | 606,331 | 3,823,393 | 4,244,317 | 6,008,189 | 42,057,323 | 66,090,079 | 462,630,553 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -109 | -121 | -763 | -847 | -1,199 | -5,011 | -8,393 | -13,189 | -35,077 | -55,121 | -92,323 | -385,847 | -546,199 | -606,331 | -3,823,393 | -4,244,317 | -6,008,189 | -42,057,323 | -66,090,079 | -462,630,553 |
