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 464,151,305, 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 | 464,151,305 | |
| -1 | -464,151,305 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 464,151,305.
Example:
1 x 464,151,305 = 464,151,305
and
-1 x -464,151,305 = 464,151,305
Notice both answers equal 464,151,305
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 464,151,305 and divide it by 2:
464,151,305 ÷ 2 = 232,075,652.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 232,075,652.5 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 | 464,151,305 | |
| -1 | -464,151,305 |
Now, we try dividing 464,151,305 by 3:
464,151,305 ÷ 3 = 154,717,101.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 154,717,101.6667 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 | 464,151,305 | |
| -1 | -464,151,305 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
464,151,305 ÷ 4 = 116,037,826.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 116,037,826.25 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 | 464,151,305 | |
| -1 | 464,151,305 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 97 | 485 | 641 | 1,493 | 3,205 | 7,465 | 62,177 | 144,821 | 310,885 | 724,105 | 957,013 | 4,785,065 | 92,830,261 | 464,151,305 |
| -1 | -5 | -97 | -485 | -641 | -1,493 | -3,205 | -7,465 | -62,177 | -144,821 | -310,885 | -724,105 | -957,013 | -4,785,065 | -92,830,261 | -464,151,305 |
